		Here, juicy slices of beef and luscious taro root were simmered in a ginger-tinged coconut sauce to produce an entree of soft, subtle contrasts that have haunted me at least twice a day ever since I ate it.
		The coconut juice and hashima were ladled into bowls, like soup, and the coconut meat was so tender that we scraped it from the inside of the shell with our spoons.
