I love the indescribable taste of SATOR worked in foods. My American wife eats herself 'the-hee-haw' on this, once she developed the yum-yums for it. Most Oriental grocery stores carry FROZEN SATOR in sealed ziplock like, plastic bags. Thaw it natural to room temperature or cut the top of the bag open and fill it with cold water to speed thawing. Never use the whole bean as on average, one in twenty beans may contain a green worm (which is frozen dead). The beans peel easily in two halves, starting at the but end. Sator beans are not to be eaten raw. I make side dishes of stir fried sator with sweet soy. Cook it in with the many Asian meat, poultry or shrimp dishes, various stir fried sator and sambals ( hot pepper paste), stir fry it in fried rice dishes, etc. Sator is versetile, a great added taste to many foods. I use some ten to twenty pouches / month. So called ready to eat sator in 'water' is too salty to be used with anything.
