Great combination, lots of colors but kind of bland at first taste so I punched up the flavor with a few Thai chilies and Pow!!! Served this with rice and some of those crunchy noodles you get with your chop suey. This is a great base recipe for newbies to the whole Thai cuisine scene. Very easy to modify and experiment from. Have fun with it!!
