on 11/5/2009 My wife and I tried this and we LOVED it. The key is always in the sauce/marinade.
My wife, who I met in Vietnam, makes something very similar to this but we actually enjoyed this much more.
This recipe really took me back. It reminded me of the time I met my wife. It was 1965 in the city of Chu Pong. A time of my life I will never forget. If you think you had experienced pure, raw human emotion before, you think again. Maybe that's why I don't sleep at night. I'll look at the mirror for hours and not recognize the man in the mirror. A figment of a man without emotion, without feelings. So after seeing what I've seen... I don't feel like any person in my life has really understood me.
The only thing we changed in this recipe is we baked the chicken after boiling/steaming it.
