Paul : Ya, for sauce you can probably use
Soysauce across the board, but the only "sauce" called
for is "sheep's liver
sauce." Here, however, the recipe looks completely
Chinese; soysauce is a
very safe bet. But be aware that there are so many
variants of soysauce
about. The way the Vietnamese prepare their sauces,
using soysauce, is
totally different than what the Japanese do, for
example. I would at least
add sugar and garlic.
