Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Nice fast recipe for a quick dinner. Substituted neutral grapeseed oil for olive oil.

    This is one of those funny dishes that I was eager to do, based upon ingredients and the above reviews, and found very disappointing. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used half red and half green chile pepper, and I used coconut oil instead of olive, as I don't like to use olive oil for high temp wok cooking. I would think that a dish with chiles, lime coconut, fish sauce, and cilantro would be a can't miss in the Nightshade house. But we were very underwhelmed. The nastiest comment I made was that if this was served in the hospital cafeteria, I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Not inedible, but surprisingly bland and boring.

    p. 129 Mmmm, we love the combination of coconut and lime so this was right up our alley. Super-simple to prepare and even quicker to stir fry this is a perfect week night dish. Even so, I did most of my prep on the weekend by chopping then freezing the chicken so all we needed to do during the week was pour in the marinade of lime juice and zest (that I’d prepared on the weekend) and let it sit for an hour before stir-frying along w some sliced chili and green onion. A sauce is made by adding fish sauce and coconut milk. The recipe calls for cilantro but we used basil and the dish was served over steamed rice. I’ll happily make this again as we had dinner on the table in 10 mins!! Next time I’d add more chilies as one wasn’t enough and, I’d add some veggies. I think broccoli or green beans would be yummy.
