I was wanting to try something new and I did and enjoyed it Thank you for sharing.. Karen Very easy to make the taste was wounderful make you wish it would not end ... -
I made a triple batch for a big party. Even though we had tons of leftovers, these were gone half-way through the evening. -
This was very tasty! The peanut sauce was especially delicious on the coconut jasmine rice that a I made to accompany the dish. I made several substitutions including using chicken thighs for the breast, green onions for the lemon grass, creamy instead of crunchy peanut butter and gluten free soy sauce in lieu of the fish sauce. It was all delicious and the chicken was very tender. The marinade made alot more than was needed though. -
Made a double batch for a barbecue, nice change from the traditional fare. Marinade made the chicken very tender and flavorful.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
