Hiya Carol!

fish

->  HN> anything if you don't want to! Of course you CAN add them to soups
and
-> 
-> Yup!  Or panfry either just in spices or with a little oil.  We like
them with
-> just salt and a sweet (not too hot) paprika and the merest whisper of
oil which
-> helps the spices stick.  Nice munchies!
-> 
I've never bothered to pan fry them
although I have had them that way
when someone else goes to the 
trouble! (grin) One thing I do
is put a bunch in a plastic bag
and then add some tabasco and give
it a good shake...yum! Might be
a bit hot for your tastes but you
could use a bit of wasabi and mirin
for a similar effect.

Hmmm, I used to make sweet potato "chips" 
in the oven too...a very light brushing 
with olive oil and sprinkle with spices
..then a quick bake in a 500 degree oven 
till they were crisp and slightly 
browned...but not burnt. You could 
certainly experiment with that one and 
come up with a combination that would 
be as good as hers...or better!
BTW I HATE secret recipes!


->  HN> local asian grocery in bags about the same size as the potato chips
->  HN> (the medium sized bags, not the HUGE things they try and sell
now!).
-> 
-> Yup again but you can also get the huge bags too.  At Tonoo, one lady
sold them
-> out of a big plastic bin and you used a scoup into your own plastic bag
or if
-> you didnt have a bag, could get one from her for 3yen for simple or
10yen for
-> a ziplock type.  You could also just wrap them up in newspaper you
brought 
-> yourself if you wished.  I saw others do that but I didnt like the idea
of what
-> might be in the ink that might get in the food.
-> 

I wouldn't mind a huge bag...but Anne would never
touch them so it would be just me and a smaller
bag is much more reasonable for me!

Chat with you soon
