I think that's the way non-Asians see soy sauce usage - it terms of very small amounts. I can't see using that small amount in any cooking. OTOH, if you're going to use it as a table condiment, that amount might work.

Most cooks on the mainland see MSG being used in small amounts - you'd think it was radioactive or something. Cooks in China and other places go hog wild with the stuff. Well, at least, I do.

We were at a warehouse store yesterday. My wife picked out a package of two large bottles of barbecue sauce. I don't use the stuff much these days but she seemed to have her heart set on it. Later on we had a kalua pork sandwich. I grabbed the two bottles, opened one, and poured it on the sandwich. It was certainly grand eating. I'm going to have to make a batch of this pork!
