october 20, 2021 | I would make this recipe again

It was a little on the spicy side for my kids... so I think that next time I'd cut down on the chili peppers slightly... but we all LOVED it!!! So yummy! We will be definitely making this one again! Highly recommended!

Since I didn't have any nam pla, I doubled the quantities of garlic, ginger and chili pepper, and added a bit of soy sauce. I also went a bit "overboard" with the vegetables, adding pretty much everything that I had in the crisper. Next time, I'll thaw the beef before hand, and only add it when I steam the veggies as I felt the beef was a bit too cooked. Very good for a comforting lunch or supper.
