This is one of the most popular Thai dishes and one of the easiest to make. You can substitute lots of different vegetables and it will still turn out great. While this is traditionally served with chicken, you can substitute fish, shrimp, beef, pork or tofu and it will still be wonderful. We made this without chile peppers and served with red chile sauce on the side...so our kids would enjoy it too!

    I used more chicken thighs and marinated them a short time in sherry/soy. I batch cook vegetables according to how long they need to cook. Gives a better finish than cooking everything together. Also, it came out a little too salty with the Fish and Oyster sauces. I'd reduce it next time. I make a similar dish using either Orange or Lemon in place of the sauces. I like it better.

        This was okay. I added a little bit of baisel, it helped a bit. I'm just not a huge fan of fish and oyster sauce. My kids did eat it though and thats always a good thing.

              Quantities look fine to me. It's a vegetable dish with some chicken for protein - not the other way around. Perfect for two people.

                I would love to make this John, but would you recheck your vegetable amounts? Six vegetables at 1/8 cup each totals only to 3/4 cup raw veggies per the 1/2 pound of chicken. I could certainly make an educated guess on amounts, but will wait till you restate them.
