About

This Thai-inspired recipe is an extremely close relative of a Chinese recipe. Contrary to what most people think, not all Thai dishes have chillies and are spicy Many of the Thais who have Chinese ancestry come from southern China and their cooking reflects their roots. That is, subtle cooking with nuances, rather than the strong, assertive flavours of chillies that characterize much of Thai cooking. This dish is delicious with plain rice.
