Hi FWC This is a great curry. Now having said that I had to make some changes because of what I had in my cupboard. Green curry paste instead of red. Pork instead of chicken. I also omitted the cornstarch. (don't like) I was wanting a curry base for EGGPLANT, so that was my star ingredient. Cut eggplant into about 1/2 in cubes, then roasted it under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes and then added it to the sauce I found the sauce a little thicker than I wanted and so used a little chicken broth to the sauce and this thinned it out perfectly. oh, also added fresh chopped garlic. served with fresh squeezed lime and cilantro. Excellent Thank you Judy in Wa

    Great taste! I used beef instead of chicken and added some sliced carrots. My 5 year old kept saying it tasted so great. I used Wondraflour instead of cornstarch and just added all the sauce ingredients to the beef after it was cooked.

    Once in a rare while a recipe will come along which exactly meets the standards of the most discriminating of your tastebuds. This is such a recipe! It was quite straight forward to make and a joy to eat. I was torn between wanting to stay at the table to eat more or rush back to the kitchen to get another batch started so that when I finished eating the first I wouldn't have to wait for the next batch. My advice to folks contemplating making this recipe would be to double the recipe right up front. Serve your favorite Pad Thai Noodle recipe along with this dish and your reputation will be made. Thanks, ShannonBecker!!

    This was phenomenal! I used low-fat coconut milk. It still turned out really great, though probably not as thick as it would be with the regular. I also added a red bell pepper. YUM. My house still smells delicious. Added some fresh basil and cilantro at the end, served over Thai ginger rice (204862). A+
