  This is just fabulous,hot and spicy,but the cucumber cools it down. I served it in the lettuce leaves,and i halved the recipe for 2 people,its so easily halved .This will be a regular dish in our house.

  Gorgeous! I made it as a main course for my husband & I with 500g Turkey mince instead of chicken. I served it with stir fried vegetables and it was delicious (and there's enough left for another go - yipee!)

  This was a topper! I made it for my girlfriend and she's really a Thailand addict. She loved this recipe! I'm going to make it now for the second time!

  This is a 5 * recipe!!! I've made it many times and there's never any left. My children love it as well. Please try it. You won't be disappointed. If you have an Asian shop near you, they often have little packets of frozen lime leaves. I always have some in my freezer.

  Really enjoyed this recipe. I also used dried kaffir lime leaves (4) and served it with stir fried veg and the salad with a mango dip on the side.

  Absolutely delicious!!! We couldn't find any lime leaves, so left them out. Well worth making.

  I used this recipe as a base and added some of my own ingredients to turn this into a Thai noodle salad. I added some rice vermicelli noodles, a thinly sliced red pepper, a chopped chicory, a tsp of palm sugar to balance out the fish sauce and lime juice, extra lemon grass and ginger as I adore those flavours, and I left my chillis unseeded as I like things spicy. I loved it, and have brought in some leftovers for my lunch today. Can't wait to tuck in again!

  Hands down my favourite Asian chicken recipe. It comes out slightly different evry time I make it, but I love it every time. It is so flavoursome that you keep eating long after you are full and is even good cold. I serve it with wraps to make it more substantial. A definite winner

  really enjoyed this, I made it with turkey mince. I didn't have any lime leaves or mint, so left those out, but also added a splash of soy sauce. Like the idea of serving it with wraps, would probably do that next time.

  Made it with beef mince as I was trying to re-create the beef larp we ate in Laos. There they serve it with sticky rice. Couldn't find any of that so we got some from the Thai restaurant! The dish was pretty authentic tasting. Love it!

  This was such a wonderful dish. I couldn't get hold of fish sauce so i made my own (2 parts soy 1 part lime) and it was beautiful and very authentic. Served with noodles fried off in sesame oil. Wonderful
