  1. My favourite type of meal - and this one did not disappoint with its salty and sour flavours. I forgot to buy shallots and used chilli sauce, otherwise made as written and it was delicious, AND low in fat as well!
     
  2. Basic family cooking, quick and tasty. This is a spicy dish - if you're not sure about this flavor combination, it might be good to reduce the red pepper and the fish sauce the first time, with more lime. I used vietnamese fish sauce (nước mắm) instead of thai, with red pepper flakes instead of whole peppers. We ate it over chopped cabbage, which was ok, but a chinese cabbage would probably be better.
     
  3. The fish sauce really comes through on this dish...it is very salty. I served mine over rice with cucumbers on top and the meat next to it. I think next time I will try to marinate the meat in the sauce and serve it on top. This was quick and easy to do. Made for Zingo ZWT4.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I learned how to cook from my mom, and love to putz around in the kitchen. I watch many shows on The Food Network, too, though Good Eats is my favorite. I have many recipes of my own but am always looking for something that's just a bit different. I am now on the look out for great tasting lower carb recipes, and for natural/organic, whole foods. Feel free to send me Zmail! My photo - this a photo was taken at The Hofbrau Haus in Munich, Germany in April 2007. My mom and I took a wonderful 3-week tour last year and ate here twice. The food was homey and delicious, and the bier was great! I can't believe I finished the whole thing... <a href="http://photobucket.com/icons/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b379/ilikeggs0607/icons/z5587136.jpg"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa9/deo0519/ZWT3/ab_fish_small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa9/deo0519/ZWT3/ab_sm_small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/houdini6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif"><img src="http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/3476/mybanner483b81c1ea2dfah7.jpg">
