Delicious. I used sliced chicken thigh meat, but otherwise followed the recipe. The chicken was moist and tender, and the veggies and sauces gave it a wonderful flavor. I served it over rice. Made for My Three Chefs Fall 2008.

I fixed this pretty much as directed. It was a big hit. The red peppers, green bok choy and onions ( I used red and yellow) made for a colorful dish.

Definitely overflowing with flavor and healthy too! Ended up doubling the sauces because we added extra veggies which I think was important.

Loved this! First bite hubby said 'Now this is a winner!'. I was out of fish sauce, so I used 3Tb soy sauce instead (for Sauce 1). I also added some extra veggies and omitted the red pepper flakes. It was a tad on the spicy side for our kids, so next time I will cut the chili paste in half. But there will definitely be a next time!

Well, Trader Joe's was out of basil but I know it would have been great with it. They were also out of bok choy, so I bought a fresh bagged stir fry mix that had bok choy in it and added the whole bag after the sauces were added. It worked great and added a lot of extra veggies to the dish that I would have wanted to do anyway. My DH and I liked the hotness, but it was too hot for our 3 year old so next time I will cut down on the red pepper flakes and/or the chili paste till he can take the heat! With the cornstartch in the 3rd sauce I did think this would thicken more than it did, but it was fine the way it turned out and the sauce amount was perfect without doubling. I served over brown basmati rice for a healthy and filling meal!

Made a delicious meal for us! I used bok choy, onions, yellow and green peppers, and mushrooms in mine. I served it over rice and it was a great meal for all of us!

My husband and teenage daughter loved this! I did not have chili paste or bok choy so I used red curry paste and a pasilla pepper instead. I like how easy this was to prepare, how forgiving the recipe is on substitutions and how great it tasted. Perfect served over rice.

Firt of all, THANK YOU for posting this recipe! This is nearly identical to my favorite dish at The King and I, a Thai restaurant here in St. Louis. The dish is called "Pad Pik." The only difference I can tell is that they don't make it with bok choy. Just the onions and peppers and basil. I am so excited to have found this recipe here on 'Zaar!
