This is a great vegetarian dish. I saw this on Huey’s Cooking Adventure on Food TV.
I added the fish sauce, as I think it just gave an extra kick.
Isn’t it amazing how when you first experience fish sauce you can’t stand the smell?
The flavour it adds is so fabulous and any Thai styled food is really boring without it.
I made this for staff lunch so the quantities in the picture are for a crowd.
I forgot to take the picture till I had the food in the boot of the car so consequently… Sorry about the shadows. It may be my worst photo yet.
Anyhow I think you get the picture!!!
