What I thought:

This dish was a hott mess. I tend to scan instructions and go from there, which resulted in twice the amount of soy sauce which ruined the batter for frying. When all said and done, it was very salty, which was my mistake, but I loved the ginger and garlic taste. If I had done everything correctly, then I am sure this would have been an 8-9/1o. Since I messed up, I would rate this a 5/10. I really loved the ginger though..
