i really loved it. and during the process, i made some tweaks. the soy sauce is optional for the tweak. really not needed. I used sesame oil instead of peanut oil. 1/4 of a white onion. simmered cubed cut chicken, in 2 cups of chicken broth, with 2 teaspoons of ginger, 1/2 teaspoon garlic, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, 3 teaspoons sriracha, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. 1 1/2 tablespoon of agave, to balance the saltiness. 1 1/4 teaspoon of basil.

I live in a rural area 30 minutes from the City of Adelaide. I have 3 children and spend an inordinate amount of time chasing around after them! I enjoy cooking and reading about all kinds of food (but perhaps not vegan - never really did get the hang of that), although driving the kids here and there cramps up my cooking time and motivation some days.
I love cookbooks and have recently started to collect very old cookbooks, mostly from the 19th century. I love all books actually and, if I could get away with it, I would spend half the day with my nose in a book.
I also adore where we live, which is in the Adelaide hills. We live on top of a hill with gorgeous views out over the vineyards and across valleys. It is nice to be so close to the vines because I also have a fondness for sauvignon blanc, a lot of which is grown here!
