I’ve tried Vietnamese several times. I just didn’t care for it. I love Thai though, which is why I thought I’d like Vietnamese. :(
Viet is not as spicy. Its more about fresh.
We love Rachel Ray’s chicken satay with orange scented rice. We have it once a week for supper with leftovers for lunch another day.
I use the lesser amount of chicken and add extra varied vegetables, broccoli, peas pods, mushrooms, bean sprouts, etc. Sometimes I have s many veg I make 2x the sauce. Speaking of the sauce we add it to the meat and veg in the pan then pour the whole thing over the rice. We are having this Monday night.
