This was an excellent way to test out my brand new wok! I was amazed by how simple this was, and how quickly everything came together. I added some chicken strips that I marinated in soy sauce, garlic and green curry paste for a couple of hours to complete the meal and it worked out very well - not that it needed the help to begin with! I can't wait to make use of my new toy yet again, for this recipe and many others!
