Thai style cooking.

I came across a recipe in a booklet produced by the Ulster Pork & Bacon Forum which I got at the supermarket recently and decided I had to try it, however I made it tonight with chicken instead of the whole pork fillet the recipe in the book uses.

It was delicious and we actually had some of it in tortilla wraps - so yummy and very easy once again!
