As a Thai woman, I grew up with spicy food. When I say spicy it does not mean my mouth was on fire. I love food that has some spice in it; the flavor that gives me a little kick to my taste buds. My grandma used to cook this dish for us. It was a quick dish, and the ingredients in the recipe are very simple and easily to be found from any type of grocery store.
