Excellent recipe! I’ve made this many times and always a hit. Tonight, I substituted the chicken with shrimp. Chopped (not ground) shrimp. Ooh so very nice!! : )

Oh my! I am currently eating this wonderful dish but I needed to take a break and simply say “Oh wow” and “oh my”! Such a wonderful dish and an easy one to make. Goes very well with jasmine rice.

I’ve made this recipe a few times now, and I absolutely love it. I do make a bit extra of the sauce but all the proportions are spot on. I actually like this one better than the local thai place! Thanks a lot for the recipe!

It is a good take although I don’t grind up the chicken meat, use Thai Basil and Brown Sugar. Also there are a lot of good Thai restaurants in the OC, you must not be from round here are yah???

Yes, you can just chop the chicken breast / thigh into minced chicken using a cleaver. :)

I love this dish! Will you recommend cutting chicken breast/thigh into small piece at home, rather than buying ground meat at supermarkets?

I cannot wait to give this a try! Could you also make it with Pork? If so, which cut do you think?

It’s funny, I’ve ordered this at various restaurants in the UK and sometimes it comes like the above but other times it comes as sliced meat with more of a ‘sauce’. It definitely has the same English language name on the menus.

Oh, also, will your book be available in the UK? Thanks again!

I make this at least once a week, substituting brown sugar for the palm sugar and using very thinly sliced steak instead of ground chicken. The smell of fish sauce is, I find, overwhelmingly strong, so I usually add in the juice of half a lime during the ‘add liquid’ stage, and serve it over rice with a lime slice as garnish/further flavor to brighten things up.

It’s very popular. =>

[...] on the balcony threatening to bolt, so I had to find a recipe to use it up. I came across this recipe from Rasa Malaysia, which I doubled to serve four. They’re pretty small servings though [...]
