“I followed the recipe exactly, despite my instincts, so that I could rate it fairly. 2 tablespoons of cornstarch is WAY too much for this volume. It ends up a disgusting gelatinous texture that is SO off putting. It also was not nearly hot enough. I'm going to” — a cook
“Tastes great! I prefer its fresher flavor over Kikkoman Thai Chili Sauce. The latter does have more of an umami flavor.However, any suggestions on how to give this a more appetizing reddish color? It is more of a milky, translucent white color.” — a cook
