Hi Michael,

 RH> IOW, they'd go with the bebimbap I made tonight.

 ML> I heard that that term meant "all stirred up together."
 ML> Is that so. Do you crack a raw egg into the mess? That's

Actually, several different things are cooked (one at a time) in the wok
(or whatever) and set aside to keep warm. Assembly is done by putting
them in a circle around the rice. The raw egg is fried sunny side up,
then put on top for show. Before eating, the egg is cut up and mixed in.


 ML> the way it has been served to me. Yuk hwe bibim pap is
 ML> of course the one I like best, as it's full of raw meat.


We used tofu as the recipe called for; had some on hand that needed
using anyway. I don't recall what kind of meat the version I had years
ago in AZ was, but it was not raw.


 RH> One of our favorite Mexican places in HI had so much leaf cilantro in
 RH> a lot of their dishes that I would pull out a good pile of it.

 ML> For me, just a few leaves suffice. A lot of the Thai
 ML> places give you this enormous pile of it, perhaps like
 ML> your Mexican place.

A few leaves are enough for me, more than enough for Steve. He would
always either order things that didn't have it in or ask them to leave
it out of what he ordered. Usually it was easier to do the former.


 ML> Without coconut and cilantro, it might be better to look
 ML> for a different cuisine altogether.
 RH> Some places have dishes with one but not the other, as we've found
 RH> out. Helps to have the menu posted at the door so we can decide if
 RH> there's something for both of us or not.

 ML> You can probably ask for light or absent cilantro, but the
 ML> coconut issue is probably insuperable.

At the one place there were several dishes made without the coconut
milk. I don't think I had all of them as we only went there a few times
but it was nice to know I didn't have to have it. They also cooked your
meal according to your heat level; there were times that the medium was
plenty hot enough for Steve. (G)


 ML>       Title: Garlicky Snowpeas Saute
 ML>  Categories: Vegetables
 ML>    Servings:  4

Should be seeing the snowpeas in about 6-8 weeks at the farmer's market
so I'll have to get some and try fixing them somewhat like this.
