Wow this was good. We loved it and it is easy to make too. I did have to make some substitutions though. In place of the chicken I baked tofu that I had marinated in soy sauce and sesame oil until crispy, I changed the veggies to what was in the fridge and left out the chili paste and fish sauce. I used homemade red curry paste too and forgot to add in the pineapple, but I think it would have added another level of flavour. My family loved this and there were no leftover. Thanks for the recipe.
