They probably taste fine but how they're presented they don't look at
all appetizing, they look like alien grubs... stare at them long
enough and they start to pulsate. Those little saucers look like they
arrived from a black hole and those are ETs.

FGS these are nuts in a bowl and they look like nuts in a bowl.
What do you expect them to look like, pulsating aliens dancing with
pepper and chilis? God you are a nut.

The "pulsating" is coming from the veins in his widdle head about to
burst from jealousy.

I'm just surprised he didn't say they looked like boobies.

OMG, they do!! Just had to say that. But otherwise, this is just what I need
- something to make cashews even more irresistible Thanks.

So for all of you that know Mary Chung's in Cambridge MA,
this is fantastic. It seems simple enough.. handmade wontons
on a bed of bean sprouts with a garlic/chili pepper acid sauce
poured over the top. The question is, how do you make the sauce?

Note: this is not the peanut version I've had at a few other places.
Its a spicy, garlic, soy based sauce.

It made wikipedia...

Fuscia's recipe calls for

1/2 ts soy
1.5 ts black vinegar
1/2 ts lard or peanut oil
1/2 ts sesame oil
2 ts chopped scallions (Hi FG!)
1/4 cup hot stock
Lots of white or black pepper (10-20 turns of the pepper mill)

Mary's has sliced garlic and chili pepper mixed it.. I guess I could
start with this.. but I'm not sure this is the same.
