Chef's Tips
Tip 1: Quantities may vary depending on how many need feeding.
Tip 2: Fish sauce is only a quarter teaspoon so if you don't have it or have no further use for fish sauce then don't worry about it, just leave it out.
Tip 3: If the season makes the veg a little bitter just add some sugar.
Tip4: This is the basic recipe and various items can be added for example – mayonnaise and chopped cooked chicken breast. All of this mixed together you wil find that the dish becomes very "…Barbara don't you have an allergy to fish sauce, you better pass that over my way…") or maybe some diced mango or diced avocado...
Hello 'Twinkle toes'!!
Are you American?
Cilantro and coriander are the same thing...sorry for the confusion...good job there is no scallions or egg plant!! (spring onions or aubergine)
Cheers,
Wayne.
have you thought about adding a little Cilantro?
