  Side notes: > Roasted peanuts - Add 1/2 cup of shelled
  peanuts to a very hot wok and stir until the skins
  turn black and scorched. Transfer to a colander and
  cool (2-3 min). Wipe off skins.
  
  Tuong - Sometimes labeled "Vietnamese Soy Sauce" in
  the U.S. but it is actually quite different from
  "regular" soy sauce.
