People say stuff like "slowly saute," which misses the point
of the technique, whose name means "to jump," as that's what
the food is supposed to be doing in the pan. Were you sweating
in lowish temperature fat, that impure and slightly ovetoasted
oil probably would have worked fine.

As I'm using lowish temperature, I guess that what I'm doing is sweating
the veggies, not sauteing them, then.... :)

Sauteing involves using the hottest pan with which you
are comfortable with and then cranking the burner up a
bit more.

See above, too. Though Imodium is one of the most
universally reliable.

And I would be an outlier there, too... ;)

One might try a double dose of the stuff and stop increasing
when the dose either became effective or seemed dangerous.

Or one might consider one's general propensity to not process most drugs properly, and leave well enough alone... Generally when I get diarrhea,
I just let it run its course, which it does within a few hours,

That's something I can't afford to do, given my lifestyle.
Even though I'm not particularly prone to it, embarrassing
experience with several friends makes me keep it on hand
pretty much at all times.

usually... clears out whatever might be a problem, and then things are fine... Actually, eating yoghurt is fairly effective for me, should it
seem serious enough... :)

Of course, for me, eating yogurt would be more a
cause of the problem rather than a solution.

was eaten, even the lettuce leaf...

Sounds authentic except for the lettuce leaf.

What would they use instead....? Or would it just be put on the plate
in its own pile...?

Nothing. Why frou-frouize something that's a simple
hawker-stall dish to begin with.

It's a restaurant way of dealing with things....? ;)

I suppose. Over there I'd not be likely to order such
dishes at a sitdown restaurant, so I can't report on
what such would do.

Nice to know that it is a good representation of Malaysian food,
then.... :) We quite like the place... :)

It seemed nice; at last count Boston didn't have a proper
Malaysian restaurant, though Washington has several (all
woefully overpriced, though).

Thankfully, this is a fairly reasonably priced place... :)

Yeah, I seem to recall it being even easier on the budget
than Fu or the Korean place.

Now with garlic more common, that's not so much the case.
Of course, the subway is upward of a buck these days.

True, both of them.... :)

In these days of reduced civility, just about nothing but first-come-first-served will get anyone a seat on the subway.

Sad, but true, it seems....

Talking to yourself used to seem to work, but now people
just think you have a really small Bluetooth.

Sauteing involves using the hottest pan with which you

Hmmm.... not likely to truly be sauteing, then... ;)

Of course, for me, eating yogurt would be more a
cause of the problem rather than a solution.

True... for me it restores bacterial balance, and settles things, but
then I haven't got lactose issues....

Yeah, I seem to recall it being even easier on the budget
than Fu or the Korean place.

The Korean place is at the top end of our usual places... and there are
some strategies to not pay too much at Fu's... ;) Coco Garden is one of
the easier on the budget places, along with the buffet at Tandoor... :)

Now with garlic more common, that's not so much the case.
