The sauce quantity
All people raves about this sauce, they usually often need additional helpings once I make it, so I’ve elevated the quantity of sauce in this recipe in comparison with my authentic sesame hen recipe (elevated by 50%). This could give sufficient sauce to coat the hen, with additional for drizzling over your rice/noodles too. 
When you solely need sufficient sauce to only coat the hen, scale back the quantity of sauce components by one third. It ought to take round 1 minute much less to warmth although too.
