Notes

  • I used Maggie tomato ketchup and regular soy sauce. If you are using Dark Soy sauce, reduce the soy sauce measurement. Adjust the sauce quantity as per your taste. With different brands, taste can differ a bit.
  • If you are using chilli tomato ketchup, adjust dried red chilli quantity accordingly.
