Notes

Notes on flavor balance:
Consider the following "flavors"
  • Spicy
  • Salty
  • Sweet
  • Sour
  • Bitter
A proper balance will improve the overall taste of the dish and can improve one's "health."
I look for an initial taste of sweet or sour, sliding into a warm, spicy finish at the back of the throat. This is great for when one has a cold or a sore throat.
