Yeah, you probably wouldn't want to eat all that shallot, would you? You could leave out all the alliums, and I'm sure it would still taste good - just very different. Shallot and garlic are pretty integral to Southeast Asian cooking in general. But we often leave the onion or shallot out of things and get good results - just let the spices provide the flavor.

It sounds divine; I can just about smell it just through your description, but, as you may recall, I have some unusual food allergies and wouldn't be able to follow the recipe as is.

But can't beat the price of the book! You might like the pork, especially if you like star anise - it smells so good while it braises. I'll be sure to try some other recipes from the book so you can see the pictures :) Hi Matt,

The pictures are nice if only because my copy of the book only has text (somehow our library was selling an advance copy for $1.00).
