If you have a favourite recipe, you can post it here, I love trying out other peoples fav's, much better than recipe books.
Try to keep it easy eh - so that maybe some others will try it?
This is one of my favourite recipes and is quick and easy to do - it's a simple Thai adaptation of a Chinese Restaurant meal
and comes from Chang Mai in northern Thailand. Important things to remember are to prepare everything first as it only takes minutes to cook.
You must add the ingredients in sequence, or you will end up with a soggy mess!
