My husband and I just loved this dish! It was better than what we get at our local Thai restaurant. We made a little extra sauce to suit our own taste. We didn't know how much hot sauce to add, so we just guessed, but it was awesome! It really did satisfy our craving for Thai, and we'll be making it often. I registered on this site just to be able to review this recipe! Thanks!

Doubled the recipe (we had company) and I didn't add the cauliflower but otherwise followed the instructions. Very delicious! Next time I might add more sauce but since none of the dish was leftover it was ok. Served with recipe#509630#509630 and recipe#450315#450315. Made for Spring PAC 2014.

Good dish. I ommited the celery and cauliflower; only because I did not think it would maintain the texture. I could be wrong. It does have a nice flavour. Leanne
