Oh yum! I bet it'd work nicely with chicken bits or thin sliced beef too. :)
Yohji is much braver than I am with the flipping-something-covered-in-searing-hot-oil action! I totally fail at flipping even eggs. I'd be terrified to try flipping something that could latch onto my face and leave me with spaghetti-molested face-burns that would be completely embarrassing to explain in the ER ("no I really wasn't snogging Cthulhu, it's... um... actually can we go with the snogging Cthulhu explanation, it's a little less embarrassing than the 'lost the dominance-challenge with my dinner' explanation...")
I've been totally paranoid about boiling oil ever since my mom ended up frying herself by tipping over a whole pot of it when I was in like fourth grade or something. Also, I tend to get pwned by anything with more fight-back-ish-ness than a piece of toast. I actually write cookbooks to document the parts I survived with minimal humiliation... and notably leave out the Dagobah Swamp Ramen or the time I burned Kool-aid... ^^;;
