This lacked flavor. If I was to make again I would add additional seasoning.

This did not have a lot of flavor. I was expecting something with a little spice, but in fact it was bland, even with double the sambal oelek (and I don't eat things really spicy). I was also confused about the amount of ginger. ml are a liquid volume measurement. Also there are no indications of cooking temperature. Overall, this wasn't bad, but I won't make it again.
