Tips and Shortcuts
As always with Thai food. Add a little more of red pepper sauce if you like it hot. Or add a little more of the sugar if you like it sweet. Tasting is the key.
In Thailand, many people avoid peanuts because of its link to cancer. So, in our household we substitute other nuts like almonds for peanuts.
