Changes, Mistakes and Substitutions
I didn't make many changes here. I left the optional macadamia nuts optional.
Verdict
Another recipe we liked. I think the South-East Asian recipes from this book have, so far, been among the most successful which main, in part, be novelty. This entry was originally posted at https://purplecat.dreamwidth.org/803681.html.
