Review:
I love Thai food, as evidenced by all these recipes I’ve done in the past…
Wow. I really do love Thai food. Holy cow…I didn’t realize that I had made so many Thai recipes until I just wrote them all down. Anyhow, this is another tasty recipe. The night of, I felt it was missing something (probably because I didn’t have any cilantro). But the next day I had the leftovers at lunch and it tasted delicious to me. Was I just more hungry at lunch? I’m not sure. I don’t usually have teriyaki sauce on hand at my house so I’ll probably go with one of the similar recipes above in the future that call for more pantry-friendly items…so I give this recipe 3 1/2 stars.

May 19, 2012 at 4:24 pmThis sounds yummy, and I usually have all of the ingredients–how much onion did you use? 1 cup? 1/2? Thanks!

January 9, 2012 at 3:18 pmkaren, cooked this recipe over the weekend, easy to prepare, short cooking time, I had to double recipe because of the heavy eaters that were going to show for dinner and I wanted extra for Monday's lunch. Several didn't like red pepper so I didn't add to the recipe. It was on the table and available for those that wanted it. I would definitely give this recipe 3 1/2 stars. Unfortunately my wife didn't like the meal and chances are I will have to make this for Poker Night or Football.
