“Fantastic recipe! I was looking for a recipe that was similar to my favourite restaurant and it did the trick . The only thing that I changed was I used shrimp instead of chicken . It’s so flavourful and well balanced . I also like that it’s without tamarind ” — a cook, 5.0★
“This was so good!!! My son and I love to try new recipes, as long as I don't have to buy too many ingredients. This was perfect as i had everything except for the fish sauce (I used Worcestershire) and tamarind (used soy sauce). Your tip about the rice noodles” — a cook, 5.0★
