    This is a very nice recipe and I really like that it used no prepackaged sauces. (YAY!) Personally, I'd only use fresh beansprouts, as it is the Thai way to have enjoy the crunch, and it makes such a nice texture contrast. - 8/22/11

    Delicious! Some changes I made - I used chicken broth, a full can of tomatoes, a full pack of bean sprouts (2 cups) and added some mushrooms (I mistakenly thought the recipe called for them). It turned out DELICIOUS! - 4/16/11
