What it tastes like
Savoury, slightly sweet and nutty with mild dried-chilli warmth.
Make it milder
Reduce fresh chillies and chilli paste, remove seeds, and serve extra chilli separately.

Use readily available equivalents while preserving the balance of salty, sweet, sour and aromatic flavours.
Vegetarian alternative
Replace meat or seafood with firm tofu, mushrooms or mixed vegetables and use vegetarian sauces.
Common mistakes
Overcrowding the pan, using low heat for stir-fries, and adding all seasoning at once instead of tasting and adjusting.
Serving the dish
Serve freshly cooked with steamed jasmine rice or the traditional accompaniment named in the recipe.
