Thailand or, China? Who cares who the hell created this delicious dish! Just so long as it was eventually created! ;0)

Chicken, shrimp, pork, beef or tofu all work great in this simple dish! In fact, this dish is so versatile and forgiving, feel free to get creative with her!

My 7 year old students did a great job on this dish. Excelent work kiddos!
