Hehehe, it's not actually that horrible, at least in the 60s/70s when I
was a kid. Mom would get it sometimes. Keep in mind Mom was a lovely
person but never a cook. I didn't get it on my own until a brief time
when living in Japan where meat prices can be astronomical. I found
one in the cabinets as we were clearing out to leave. I see I added
Bok Choy, Sesame Oil, a little patis (real one, made from fish), and
shemenji. It's in my recipe database from then.
