In reply to Eunice. Hi Eunice, Yes, there is a lot of sodium in the seasoning sauce. We made a huge batch as we were making it for two families. Maybe you did not have enough of the other ingredients to allow for the sauce?

I did some calculating on the amount of sodium presented in this recipe. On the back of the Golden Mountain Seasoning Sauce bottle ONE tablespoon has 1260 mg of sodium, 53 % of what’s recommended daily.

The recipe recommends 3/4 of a cup of the seasoning sauce. Lets do some calculating. There are about 12 tablespoons of liquid in 3/4 of a cup. Therefore, 12 times 1260 equals a whopping 15,120 mg of sodium recommended in this recipe. Additionally, 12 times 53%(recommended daily limit) equals an astronomical 636%. Am I missing something here? I made the recipe exactly as presented and it was inedible. Did I make a mistake?

The ratio of 3/4 of seasoning sauce to 1/2 cup of water in this recipe is toooo salty, wayyy too salty.
