Wow, we loved this recipe. Easy to make, and had all the ingredients already but the cabbage. Great flavor and again, easy so winner winner chicken dinner.
Thank you for this recipe! I have been trying to eat a very low carb diet for a couple of months. I just realized that I can enjoy more foods than plain meats, eggs and cheese with steamed veggies. I have loved to cook many international food, and have missed doing so. This recipe gave a great basis for some Thai dishes I have really missed.
I used fresh Thai ginger, fresh garlic, and added a little fresh Thai chili. Otherwise I followed this recipe and we loved it!
Delicious! I just added some spice to it. Very easy to make and it was a “do over†please recipe at my house:)
