    This was just ok for us. Some of the blame is on me --- needed some spicier chilies maybe, and my frozen lime leaves were probably a bit old--- but it didn't quite hang together for me. On the plus side, the warm fried peanuts and mangeout were really nice together, and the tempeh did get nicely sweet in the sauce.

    Liked this. We subbed gai lan for the mangetout. Added a few more lime leaves and this was a good choice - their citrusy aroma was one of the nicest things about this dish. Would make again.
