Sounds savoury and sweet. I like these combinations. Is it Thai or Malay? Fran

I had something similar at a Malay/Thai restaurant. It is really delicious - tender, spicy, sweet, sour... Thanks for sharing.

This sounds great. I'm keeping this one for future use - there are some ingredients in there I've never used before but I know I can get them at our Chinese suppliers Chung Ying - they do foodstuffs from all over Asia.
Thanks for putting this recipe up, Kid!
