It was delicious. I added a few things that I knew would compliment the dish such as fresh ginger and cashews.
Fantastic, easy recipe, I just used 3 chicken breasts, and put 3 tbsp of rice vinegar and 3 tbsp of Tamari sauce (sweeter soya sauce) rather than regular soya and I skipped on the basil leaves. Served with white rice and a salad... Yummy, yummy... kids loved it too!
