<p>Between the optional ingredients and the choice of ingredients (i.e. brown sugar, honey, or cane syrup), it&#39;s difficult to tell what the real recipe would be like. &nbsp;It would be better to put in the prefered ingredients, with the others as possibile substitutions. Sounds like it would be a great recipe nevertheless.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Grace, there's such a subtle difference in the flavors of the listed sweeteners, all but the most sensitive palates wouldn't be able to tell the difference. They carry different glycemic&nbsp;loads—that makes a difference for some people.</p> <p>I buy fried garlic, scallions, and onions by the jarful at my local Asian market, so I always have them on hand. They're a nice touch, but aren't crucial to the flavor of the finished dish.</p> <p>I experiment a lot!</p>
