We shall see. Khan's is a legendary chain of Mongolian in Minneapolis, 
and I dragged Walt M. to a Mongolian place I spotted in Dublin when he 
was there :) I probably shouldn't reveal this on a public mailing list 
:) but the trick is that chefs usually add water or sesame oil when the 
sauces you've poured over your bowl evaporate, so you hand them a 
*second* bowl with additional sauces, so you get better flavor.
