No peanuts like with a satay, but yeah. A real modom stew.

It was plenty tasty. You could have tried it, as we had leftovers
last night. But D and I finished it off when I came home for lunch

Not enough buckwheat flavor to them. Sometimes a bargain's not a
bargain. But D tells me buckwheat is South Beach-friendly.
