EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Beef, pork or shrimp can be substituted for the chicken.

If you can’t find fish sauce, substitute 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon dry sherry.

When using fresh bean sprouts in a recipe, be sure to cook them thoroughly; don’t eat them raw.

Lime wedges and julienned carrots also make a nice garnish.

I'm honestly surprised at the reviews. I like a lot of spice and flavor in my food, and I didn't find this bland at all. It had to grow on me a little bit, but overall, it wasn't a bad dish. And the best part was that it was quick and easy! Because I DO like some spice to my food, I added some red pepper flakes to mine, and also used chili soy sauce, but I have no doubt the flavor would have been good without those additions.

Followed this recipe exactly and found it to be a real "let-down". It is so bland! My significant other said it was the worst dish he had ever eaten. It was not in-expensive to make either as most people must acquire fish sauce & rice noodles. Will not waste my time on this one again!
