I just discovered that I have been using a stronger version of the white vinegar which I got from a particular store a while back. The white vinegar needs to be 9%, not the usual 5% you find in most white vinegars. I suppose if you can't find 9% then you could double the quantity in the recipe above.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of this sauce is the tartness created by strong white vinegar. When I made it with 5%, it tasted OK but it lacked the distinctiveness when I use 9%.
