Thai Sweet Chilli & Red Curry Chicken
There is one time on Facebook, in one of these many forums, someone used a certain ingredient that was unorthodox to a certain dish and the lady was really bashed by the admin of the said group. This left me wondering, are cooking recipes written on stone? Is there any reason why we can’t play around with ingredients?
I love playing around with recipes. In fact most times I will search for a recipe, find a few variations, this will help me get a gist of what it should taste like then create my own. Cooking is an art that should be enjoyed. Play around with ingredients. Add in whatever you like, take out what you don’t. Cooking is easy, its fun, it isn’t complicated. The rules aren’t set in stone my lovely foodies. so go out and experiment.
Like this recipe, I love my sweet chilli chicken, and I LOVE LOVE red thai curry. So what to do on a night when I want them both? Well mix and match them 🙂
Happy cooking!!
