Once a week, I try to introduce new flavors into our family menu. These new offerings to the family are not always received with great enthusiasm. However, this one seem to strike a home run. Everyone loved it and asked for seconds. This recipe can be varied in spice depending how hot you like it.
Thai cooking is based on a fusion of strong flavours. The five flavours of Thai cooking are spicy (pet), sour (brio), salty (kem), sweet (waan) and bitter (kom). These flavors are combined to produce dishes of startling intensity that burst onto the taste buds. Thai dishes are generally eaten with rice or noodles to disperse the intensity of the flavours.
