Chuck them into a fry pan, get some soy sauce the lighter the better don't go for the black bean sauces. I'm thinking Maggi sauce here :) A really small amount of olive oil, chuck in quite a bit of sugar so the sauce is quite sweet, and then reduce the Maggi sauce. Should take maximum of about 3-4 minutes throw some thinly chopped garlic towards the end so it cooks in the sauce. Serve as one dish of many with rice.

Whole Foods often carries them too. They're very salty.

I had 'em once at the James Beard house, brought in from the Left Bank the night before by the very mellow (but uncannily professional) cooks from Top of the Cove in La Jolla, CA. Served as a bed beneath fish (black cod, perhaps?). Delightful. Go figure.

I've only had these once, at Maia, and LOVED them! Salty and refreshing. Joe, could you clarify what market you saw them in?

You do see them in NYC restaurants! Lupa serves them warm as a side dish (I think with roasted red pepper).
