I tried this recipe but I think there's something wrong with it, so halfway through I threw out the sauce and changed recipe. It is definitely way too salty and not as sweet as it should be. I even wondered if the salt should be 2 tsp instead of 2 Tbsp as is instructed in this recipe!!! o_o I have never cooked anything else that requires 2 Tbsp of salt for this amount of food/liquids. In most other recipes that I come across, the salt is only 1 tsp or to taste. And the sugar is more, 2 to 3 Tbsp. Other recipes also use less star anise (like maybe 2 or 3) and cinnamon (1 stick). When I tried this recipe it turned out a bit bitter, I wonder if it's too much star anise & cinnamon. Most other recipes also don't use lemongrass, so this seems like an abberation. Many other recipes also use garlic. HI all, I see this recipe being shared on several other websites & blogs.
