Salt to taste while the oil is warm.

I've never been strict following the recipe, but roughly 5 stalks of spring onions and the equivalent amount of ginger works for me (sometimes I put in less oil if it looks like it'll overwhelm the ginger and spring onions) and try to be sparing with the salt... went to a chinese roast meat stall once in a mall and they had probably put in 5x the amount of salt you should have and it just wrecked the sauce (and they had a big pot of it) This usually lasts me a while if refrigerated properly.
Thank you! I made screen shots and will pdf it to my recipe list. Dipping sauces are so nice. As much as I love Chinese food, I went decades without trying to cook it and only eating it or fetching it outside the house. Who knew that ft would teach me much more than how to optimize miles and money :-)

Thanks to ft, in 2009 I got back a 3k refund and in 2020 I got back a 4500-ish refund. That’s so valuable for me. So I really mean it when I say that I’ve gotten amazing skills thanks to ft :-)
