I'll have you know that for my part I don't use soy sauce at all.
Why do your posts have weird line breaks?

I'd eat them any way they came, though I hear stories about
people having their tongues bitten when they have eaten live
grubs. The genteel (?) way is said to be to pull off the big
ugly heads so that the entrails stay attached, then eat the
body meat only. It's not that the entrails are that foul,
just that they tend to taste like sawdust, which is what the
grubs eat.

Title: Mongolian Grill
Keywords: Oriental, BBQ, Soup, Millet, Lamb, Beef, Sirloin

A truly native meal, typical of the diet of the rugged Mongolian nomad.
The thin-sliced meat is dipped in a spicy sauce, qickly grilled and then
wrapped in a sesame roll.  A gruel-like millet soup is eaten between
sandwiches, and the meal is topped off with draughts of heated sorghum
whiskey. Transposed to the West, this meal is ideal for an outdoor
barbecue.

Millet soup:
1/2 C    Millet
         Lamb bones*
10  C    Cold water
         Salt

Barbecue:
2   Lbs. Boneless lamb taken from the upper part of the leg *
2   Lbs. Boneless beef sirloin
2   C    Slivered green onion (cut in half lengthwise and slice
         diagonally into 1/2-inch sections)
2   C    Chinese parsley leaves

Dip:
1   C    Thin soy sauce
1/2 C    Chinese red vinegar
1/2 C    Rice wine
1/2 C    Fresh ginger juice **
2   T    Flower pepper salt (see recipe at end)
1/4 C    Hot pepper oil
1/4 C    Sesame oil
2   T    Garlic paste ***

* Ask the butcher to bone a leg of lamb.  Use the bones to make the soup
and freeze the shank portion for later use.
** Smash 5 large slices of fresh ginger with the end of a cleaver handle
and put them in 1/2 cup water for 2 hours.  Squeeze out the juice from the
ginger slices.
***  Peel and crush 4 large garlic cloves into a paste, and add a little
rice wine or vinegar to moisten.

Soak the millet overnight in cold water.  The next morning, put the lamb
bones in a large pot.  Add water and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat and
simmer for several hours, adding water to maintain the original volume.
Skim off the fat, remove the bones and strain the stock.  Drain the millet,
rinse several times, add to the stock and simmer slowly for 1 to 2 hours,
or until the grains break up and the soup is thickened.  Salt to taste.
Turn off the heat and set aside.

While the stock is simmering, trim off all fat and skin from the beef and
lamb.  Wrap the meat well and place in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, or
until it becomes firm, but not frozen hard. (This makes it easier to slice
the meat very thinly.)

Using a very sharp knife or cleaver, carefully cut against the grain of the
meat to make slices about 1/8 inch thick.  Cut each slice into strips about
2 by 4 inches.  Arrange the beef and lamb in layers on separate platters.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Put the green onion and parsley in separate bowls, cover and refrigerate
until ready to use.

Put each dip ingredient in a separate bowl, place the bowls on a large
tray, cover and set aside.  Prepare the rolls. See next post for rolls and
serving the barbecue.
