We loved this!! I doubled the sauce, and I'm glad I did. Used green curry paste instead of red because that's what I have, and used green beans instead of green peppers. I threw some minced shallot in there also. I will definitly make this again...maybe with chicken next time. Thanks for a great recipe!!

My family loved these. I added some extra hot thai chilies to kick it up a bit. Thanks for posting.

I love getting kra prow (under it's many various names) from Thai restaurants, so I figured I'd make some at home. Great recipe, although since I didn't have any curry paste, I had to sub with a few spices from the cabinet. Not as flavorful, but still very good. I also threw in some button mushrooms to pad out the recipe a bit. As for the sauce. . . I added some extra fish sauce, since the restaurants tend to really load up on it. It turned out great! I'd totally make this again. Next time I think I'll make some lemongrass soup and a side salad with lemon juice to complement it.

Feeling the same as Jewelies, if I could go 4 1/2 I would! Excellent flavor and couldnt be easier. The only thing this had me wishing for was more sauce, as I tend to like my stir fries a bit more "wet". The great flavors of this dish could make a great sauce!
