Refreshing Ginger Chicken With Spinach & Mushrooms

"This Thai-inspired dish features two of my favorite ingredients: fish sauce and ginger. If you are salt "intolerant," then decrease the amount of each sauce ingredient to two tablespoons instead of three. I'm not a fan of saltiness myself, but I tend to like salty Thai food (like Thai Basil Chicken, which this dish resembles)."

  1. "Refreshing" is a very good word for this dish. Made as directed. Mine ended up with a lot of liquid that I was tempted to thicken with cornstarch but I resisted the temptation. The liquid was fine as is on a bed of rice. I could eat this everyday! Thanks, rpgaymer! Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game.
     
  2. Very much enjoyed this. Dont much care for brown rice so served it with white, and didnt realise I was out of carrots, but otherwise as recipe. I adore Thai food and love the smell and taste of fish sauce, so no problems there! Great dish, full of flavour, and so easy on the tummy, will definitely be enjoying this again, thank you!! made for PRMR tag game.
     
  3. Loved this dish...althou didn't care for the smell that the fish sauce created...I've used fish sauce forever...so it must have been the amount...anyway it tasted delicious...I cut the recipe in half and wished I would have used the whole habanero because we didn't feel the heat...I served it over white rice...thanks for posting it...=)
     
  4. This is wonderful - I did skip the cilantro and habanero pepper but otherwise made as directed for a wonderful and healthy dinner! Thanks for sharing!
