Note from Vern:
This is one of the most simple, but most delicious Thai foods I’ve had. There are a few restaurants that really know how to make the rice nice, and they use some oil and garlic to flavor it more than other Thai food places do. They also throw on some nice sour sauce with lemongrass and other spices that makes it absolutely delicious. This is usually a breakfast / brunch food in Thailand.
oh no! you need much more to make proper amount of sauce! we make about 8 oz. or more!
