As you might have discovered, asian cooking is my favorite. We eat some kind of asian food 3-4 days a week.
It never gets old, probably because of all the variations. It might be wrong to speak of asian cooking as one kitchen.
Japanese, thai, vietnamese, chinese etc are very different even though they use a lot of the same flavour and spices.
My absolut favorite yhough is the chinese kitchen.
This dish has a nice balance between sour, sweet and salty. I have used both lime and lemon but feel free to use just one of them. Remember to taste taste taste while cooking so you get the right balance.
