Like what someone said, you can't taste the heat so don't forget to taste as you go and add more flakes till you taste the heat level you like. The sauce tastes sweet because of the hosin sauce so next time I want to try less of it. (I did the 2 serving but can still make one more plate or leftovers for one.

Doesn't quite have the heat needed, so I added some Chinese chili crisp to the sauce. Worked great otherwise!

Not bad but only used this recipe for the sauce. Used air fried tofu, broccoli and mushrooms instead. Sauce is good but needed a bit more spice. Added spicy chili crisp for the right amount of kick.
