Our friend Sean who lives in Bankok suggested this dish one day when we were visiting.It has become a favorite of hubby and I for lunch when in Thailand. We order it with a fried egg and it makes everything right. My favorite is when it is made with pork. When I order this I always ask to have it made spicy just the way a Thai Mom would make it. I always get big smiles!
