 Joe Gertig (North Carolina) says:
As I like more sauce than is typically called for in Chinese recipes I doubled everything. Next time I would not double the soy sauce--too salty. Also, I would not double the hot bean paste, especially if children will be eating this meal. Instead I would use more sweet bean paste and less hot bean paste.
