  1. Jan made these for us for an Australian 'zaar get together BBQ. I've never tried anything quite like them before and I thought they were great. Love the sesame in them.
     
  2. I made these today using PeterJ's recipe Recipe #228819rather than boiling the eggs. The 12 minutes steaming the eggs still left them a little soft which suited me for the recipe. I was suprised at how much flavour the eggs took up from the marinade, but in future, I would omit the salt as the soy would have provided enough. I also added a few drops of chili oil to the marinade which worked well with the other flavours.

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me. If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer. I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story. Sigh..
