Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

Koreans sometimes refer to perilla as "wild sesame"

That's an easy one. Perilla oil tastes like sesame oil

I see.

I don't have access to red or green shiso or perilla so I make
with a blend of mint, basil and lemon thyme.

maybe a drop of varnish.

No thanks, I'll pass on that idea. If I want terpene flavours in my
food I'll stick to bay leaves.

3/4 c Coconut milk, light

If the recipe means thin coconut milk, okay, but
someone once bought me a can of light coconut
milk and earned a reprimand.

I am familiar with coconut cream, thick and thin coconut milk and
young coconut water. What the heck is light coconut milk, if not thin
coconut milk ... super diluted thin?

Rule of thumb, never buy anything labeled "light."

Certainly true of ice cream and beer!

The recipe is random, not connected to the thread. I just cleaned up
a bunch of old poorly formatted and labelled recipes collected years
ago.
