I was trying to find something to make with Chicken that wasn't just boring grilled chicken. This was a wonderful recipe--even though when I went to retrieve the bag of preshredded cabbage from the fridge -- it was spoiled! I substituted broccoli and it was fine!! Delicious and I will definitely make it again WITH the cabbage!! It was very quick, too!

Great combination of textures and flavors! The only change I made was to use some Mongolian Fire Oil in place of the sesame oil -- I had bought sesame oil the week before, but I misplaced it and didnt' find it again until after this was finished cooking :( ). I went with the soba noodles, too, which tasted great but gave the dish such an awful color (soba noodles are not the prettiest noodles out there, that's for sure!). In hindsight, I should have kept the chicken mixture and noodles separate for their photo op, then mixed them for serving. Oh well, it all tasted good, and that's what really matters anyhow! Thanks for posting! :) Made for The Queens of Quisine for ZWT6 Asia

I cut back on the Red Curry Paste because we had young kids eating with us, but it was still too spicy for them. I did not serve with soy sauce on the side, which I should have as it needed a bit more flavour. Not the fault of the recipe. I give the recipe 5 stars because the changes that I made contributed to not making the flavour strong enough. Next time I will add more garlic, though and perhaps more sesame oil, especially if I have to cut back on the spiciness due to kids. I used pork tenderloin which tastes really good in the mix.

We really really loved this in my house. It was slightly more labor intesnsive than I imagined it was going to be for a weeknight meal but even so it was well worth it. There were plenty of leftovers and I had a lovely lunch the next two days. Instead of the red curry paste I used a garlic chili paste that our family loves. The red curry would have been to spicy for my family. Everything else as written including the yakisoba noodles which I really think help to make this dish. They have a different taste and texture than a wheat spaghetti noodle or other substitute. Thanks for a great meal!

Wake up your taste buds- this is spicy and delicious! If you don't like hot, decrease the red curry paste to 1 tablespoon and then add more to your liking. We used Thai Kitchen red curry paste and it produced such a flavorful dish. I did not see the red bell pepper in the ingredient list (it is not on its own line) so we used a chopped zucchini instead. To make it ultra easy, used a bag of broccoli slaw and of course yummy buckwheat soba noodles. Can't wait for leftovers for tomorrow's work lunch! Thanks!

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
