 Taste to correct the seasoning, then divide among the

 the raw meat has been dipped in it! Just a precaution.)

 TO ASSEMBLE:

 To assemble the barbecue, place the cooking appliance
 in the center of the table, heating and greasing the
 cooking surface with the salad or peanut oil.  (At
 intervals, scrape off the charred food bits with a
 spatula and reoil the cooking surface and resume
 cooking).  Guests put the meat and vegetables on the
 plates and then place small portions on the cooking
 surface and spoon some of the sauce over the grilling
 food, flipping the food over with chopsticks after
 about 1 minute on the grill.  Cook to the desired
 doneness of each guest.
