So, I decided to give it a whirl, but used kimchi for the watercress and I did not have jalapeno. Oh, also, I didn't have mirin but I used a half-measure of honey and half rice wine vinegar (Bittman), but if I were to do that again with this, I would add another 30% vinegar.<br /><br />It was good. What is interesting is that I pre-emptively decided to dial down the heat and then while re-reading yr post to the Mr as I caught him up on what it was upon which we supped -- <i>What's this called?</i> "I dunno. Do you like it or not?" -- we decided that you were completely right on, because it was tasty, but savorishly funky, and as such it needed more heat. <br /><br />OK, I am exactly like one of those crazy AllRecipes people.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803732363292861944noreply@blogger.com
