Introduction
I heard from my wife she was telling her colleagues that we are eating this dish at home. When they responded ‘why is the recipe not on the website’, it made my day. So colleagues of my wife, this recipe is for you!
This dish is great for a bigger group and easy to make. It needs to be eaten with a very spicy chili paste and some sweet & sour cucumber salad.
