"Our neighbor got this recipe from his fave Thai restaurant. It is so light and refreshing and perfect to serve as a side dish with any Asian dinner. Be sure to use a dried chili pepper to add some heat."

This is wonderful. Very crisp! The heat in it was perfect.

This lunch was light, crisp, and refreshing. I didn't have the proper red chile on hand and used thin slices of an orange bell pepper. I know that this reduced the heat of the recipe greatly, but it was still good.

Hi there! Originally CHICAGOLAND CHEF DU JOUR, I like to think of myself as a fantastic home cook with a flair for the gourmet. I have gotten & shared many recipes since I became a member in 2007. Although I have not been active in a few years, I still return to look for recipes from some of my fave chefs. Thanks to all you have helped me over the years and thanks a bunch to any and all reviews.
