Okay Kitten, another winner! My fav type of food has to be Asian, as I make so much of it. This is a five star plus recipe, for sure, but I still had to make some changes. 1. used peanut oil as I think it adds to the taste. 2. used ground chicken in place of pork. 3. didn't say what kind of fish sauce so I used nuoc mam. 4. cut the eggs down to one. 5. my brick of tamarind is pretty old and did not become a very nice paste so I used teriyaki sauce instead. 6. cut out the soy sauce since I used teriyaki sauce. I know that it seems like I made too many changes to review this recipe, but they all fit in. AND...most of all IT WAS WONDERFUL! I almost tripled this recipe and all my students LOVED it!
