NOTES : Chili paste is an extremely hot combination of crushed red
chilies, garlic, oil and salt.

 Sesame oil is from Asia and is thick and nutty-flavored, made
from roasted sesame seeds.  Since it burns easily, it is used as a
flavoring, not for frying.

The chef at the Van Ness Street Branch of Charlie Chaing's
Restaurants (in Alexandria, VA) has a singular way with the cold
starter dishes favored at Chinese Banquets.  The beef tendon, duck
tongues, jellyfish and pigs ears he serves are acquired tastes,
but he also offers string beans with ginger sauce, Chinese peas
with dried shrimp and spicy sliced cucumber.
