As I recently mentioned, we've been eating a fair number of Asian themed meals lately. They are quick to put together-usually from stuff on hand. They are also tasty and healthy. So I find it's hard to go wrong! Take this recipe for example. Tender chicken, salty peanuts, a subtle curry/coconut milk background and a little pop from the green peas stirred in at the end. Simple and pretty perfect!
