  2. found the taste of sesame oil far too strong only used less than half amount and made it up with soy sauce and olive oil. sesame taste ruined the dish

  3. I don't think the sauce receipe is correct. Adding 1 tablespoon of cornflour made the supposed sauce a gluepy mess as soon as it hit the wok, I had to add water to thin it out, but apart from that it was very nice and I will try it again but will probably use a teaspoon of cornflour to start.
