   Good morning. Looking forward to trying your recipe. The cornstarch and water ratio doesn’t match with the video. I will follow the ratio on the video. Also, I have toasted sesame oil. Is that ok? Or will it taste burnt. This recipe sounds great. I’m hoping to hear from you soon. Planning on making this for the weekend. Thank you! Have a wonderful weekend!

      Hi Barb,

      Thank you for the question! I used to use a 1 to 2 ratio for the cornstarch slurry. Later, I discovered that a 1 to 3 ratio might work better, so I changed the written recipe. Sorry about the confusion! Toasted sesame oil is great! I hope you’ve enjoyed the recipe. Happy cooking! 🙂
