This is by far one of my fav asian dishes to cook at home! It’s Thai inspired and comes out more like a soup or stew.
The recipe makes around 4 servings – depending on how hungry you are! It takes less an 1 hr to prep and cook the whole thing!
I won’t bore you with a long story about how I came up with this recipe. I combined 3 recipes in one and kinda made it my own! So here it is! Print and enjoy!
