Made with fresh wood ears from the farmers market and sauteed with sesame oil and sesame seeds on med-low temp for about a minute or two instead of the first steps listed here. I used a peeler on the cucumbers and just eyeballed the sauce measurements. Also used regular white sugar instead of palm sugar (didn't have any on hand). Turned out great!
