Great recipe, Dale. I used different vegetables, to use up what I had on hand, (broccoli, cauliflower, and lots of carrots!), and it came out just fine. I will likely make this one again but I will substitute clam juice for the fish sauce to effect a somewhat milder flavor. In any case, I would definitely recommend this recipe to others. big pat, the bone man.

I have a passion for healthy and simple dishes with lots of vegetables, although I love a treat every now and again also, especially ice cream!
