Meal of Emperor Xo Sauce (Mild Spicy)

Beyond the foregoing ingredients, typical additions are Garlic, Shallots (or Onions), Chili in smaller or larger amounts, Shaoxing Wine, Soy Sauce, Oyster Sauce, and even Fish Sauce. Sugar is a regular addition, and while this can be used sparingly, some varieties of XO Sauce are very sweet, even to the point of being cloying.
