I know that salivating while reading someone's Hive post is silly and immature, but that's what's happening to me right now. I'm definitely trying out your recipe this week, so many thanks for the inspiration. And yes, "fake it until you make it" is my favourite philosophy of cooking.
(as a side note, I think the dish would be even better if you sprinkled it with chopped green onions, but that's just me.)
