“Another great recipe, Jen! Once everything is prepped, cook time is quick although it tastes like the flavors have simmered for a while! Served it over rice. Next time I'd add a bit more heat, and maybe even some freshly grated ginger. I also might experiment ” — a cook, 5.0★

“Warming and comforting! I used Maesri kaeng pak curry paste purchased at a Thai market, providing a good punch of heat. I also loaded it up with frozen mixed veggies in addition to the chicken. I agree with other commenters and will likely use a little less fi” — a cook, 5.0★
