"This Thai inspired flavor makes a very EASY, yet impressive dish. My family asks for it weekly since their first taste & I have picky eaters! I've served it with rice & broccoli (I've also chopped ..." See moreit & stirred it all together for a single dish). It's also a good dish for company."

"The 24 hours of marinating time is way too long, which made the meat extremely salty. Otherwise it's a good recipe...." See more"

"All in all this was an okay recipe. I think it had a slightly odd flavor (can't figure out just what it was) but it was completely eaten at dinner so it wasn't bad. I don't think I'll make it again ..." See morethough."
