This is a good recipe, though I liked it more than my husband. I would liked more a flavour from the lemongrass paste, so maybe I would put in more paste or just use fresh lemongrass. I used a bird's eye chili instead of a jalapeno and Thai basil instead of normal basil because it stands up to spicy dishes more than normal basil. Thanks for sharing. Made for My 3 chefs '09.
