My husband made this dish and it came out so good I told him I'd pay for it in a restaurant.
In fact, I've had a fried fish with a similar sauce in a restaurant and was hoping you could tell us how to manage it.
We love your recipes and have had so much success cooking Thai food at home because of them. Thank you so much.

There are many dishes that appear on both my website and my book, and they are not exactly the same. This is because Sabai was written with a specific theme in mind: simple weeknight friendly recipes. So many changes were made to simplify recipes. There are also many other reasons that I won't get into, but you can use either one because they taste more or less the same, but if you need help choosing, the one that was written later is always a safe call.

Tried this recipe and it was great! My toddler loved it and finished his bowl of rice (that’s saying a LOT). So flavorful and incredibly easy to put together on a weeknight. Thanks, Pailin!

THANK YOU for this recipe. One of my all time favorite dishes and it’s always seemed so mystifying but it turned out AMAZING

In reply to Nicole. Hi! If it's dry it means you're cooking it too long. That is the only way to avoid dry chicken breast is to not overcook it, just a few minutes in the pan max.

I love this recipe. When I use breast, I velvet the chicken by mixing in 2-3 oz of water per 12-16 oz chicken and let it absorb for 10 minutes, then mix and add 2 tsp of cornstarch and 2 tsp vegetable oil until all is incorporated and let sit for ~15 minutes.

Is there a way to make the chicken more tender? I use chicken breast to make it, and it's a bit dry.

It was good! I used monkfruit/erythritol instead of sugar, more nam pla according to my tastes (more like equal amounts of nam pla and maggi), and maggi instead of soy sauce. Used black pepper because I don't like the white pepper I get in the states, so that did make a difference in taste, but not by much at all. And probably 12 garlic cloves. Nom. Khup Khun Ka!

In reply to Jay. Hi Jay! Just add chilies or chili flakes and you're good to go :)
