If you want to double this for more people, only increase soy sauce, corn starch, garlic and cooking wine by half of the amount shown.
Use the black pepper amount that is right for you. I used 3 tsp and it was too much for my wife, and had some bite to it for sure. But I loved it. Very heavy black pepper flavor. 1 - 1 1/2 tsp. might be a better starting point for most people. Careful with the garlic also, it can also add a bite to the sauce.

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
