Notes

  • The ginger amount is just a guide, being precise with it isn't a big deal.
  • The key here is the salt content because everything in there is already pretty salty, towards the end you can balance it with some sugar and a bit of black vinegar if it's too salty
  • Also, you won't get that crispy texture but the flavours are all there.
