"Recipe from a cooking class my husband and I took in Thailand given by a wonderful chef who has owned restaurants both in the US and in Thailand. She was kind enough to give us her recipes to bring home the phenomenal tastes of Thailand with us. Feel free to add your own favorite vegetables (vary cooking times accordingly) to include straw mushrooms, bamboo shoots, etc. This is a relatively quick and super easy dish and if you like Thai food you are sure to love this recipe!"

Japan

Currently working as a mental health provider for the US Naval Hospital in Okinawa, Japan. I work in Deployment Health - counseling military members returning from war. I was a bartender for 13 years (so the move over to counseling was not too great a leap...) and when I have time, love to write. My passion is travel - especially to tropical locales and eating is also one of my favorite pastimes. As a result of the eating pastime, working out is one of my not- so-favorite, but very necessary, hobbies. I moved to Okinawa Japan 11 years ago (May 2006) and hope to be here until I get tired of the place (after that who knows?!). I love cooking but wish I had a sous chef and a dishwasher to do all the dirty work!
