Flavorful and easy! Best non-noodle Thai dish!
This recipe is so easy! And the flavor oh my goodness. I didn’t have young ginger so I just added half of older fresh ginger and it was great. I used chicken thigh instead of pork as that’s what I had also and it was still magical. Really one of my favorite dishes to make and it scales for 1 to many easily.
