  1. I made this tonight following your recipe almost exactly. I decided to use a tablespoon each of fish sauce and sugar and as we are camping, and don't have all our equipment, to use the sauce without blending it to smooth. After it had simmered about 10 minutes, I added in some pumpkin cubes, then a few minutes before serving, added in some small broccoli florets, baby corn, red bell pepper strips and some fresh fish fillets. We ate this over rice stick noodles for a yummy Good Friday dinner thank you.
     
  2. Perfect. Only changes made were due to personal taste (parsley instead of cilantro, and no fish sauce). It turned a heap of stir-fried vegetables over rice into a special meal. Thanks.
     
  3. Great curry sauce. I only used 1/2 T. red curry paste as we like the flavor but not so hot. I made the rest as written. Served with Recipe #30291 and Recipe #170604. Wonderful meal.
     
  4. I'm giving this 5 stars - even though I didn't make it exactly as written! I was in need of sauce for dinner quickly tonight and this was a great base recipe to follow! Fortunately, mine turned out great! I didn't use all the ingredients listed and substituted others. Some of my subtitutes were: Almond breeze unsweetened vanilla milk instead of coconut milk, ground ginger, a packet of True Lime (lime crystals) and garlic powder. Oh and I also added a few dashes of cayenne pepper as we like things spicy. I served it over a chicken & broccoli stir-fry with fettuccini noodles. When I'm not in such a hurry I will definitely make this recipe as written!

  3. This sauce is the bomb! It made the Gooey Fried Tofu and the less than stellar rice I made taste sensational. Can't wait to try it on fish, shrimp, steak, chicken.... Did I miss anything? Thank you beckas for sharing such a fantastic, stellar recipe! I did substitute 2 anchovies and 1 tablespoon soy sauce for the fish sauce. After trying this, I am ready for fish sauce. Is it possible that could make this even better than it was???

I love Recipezaar! I have found many great recipes on this site! Since I've found zaar, I've been spending more time making recipes from zaar than I have from my dozens of cookbooks. What can I say....zaar members post darn good recipes! I wish that I could spend more time cooking but I tend to keep meals simple because I work full time as an Microsoft Exchange E-mail Administrator and I spend the rest of my time taking care of my three year old toddler. He demands so much of my time that I don't have as much time to cook as I used to. My favorite hobbies are collecting recipes and photography. I am an amateur photographer and I take pictures at almost every chance that I get. The picture that is posted on this page is a self portrait.
