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.

    Delicious! And really quite easy. As the recipe notes, once you marinate the meat and if you do a little bit of chopping in advance, this comes together in about 15 minutes at the end. I made it for friends on a weeknight and it was awesome. My only recommendation is to make a double batch of the nuoc mam sauce, you'll want extra!

    Quick marinate, and the chicken is juicy after being grilled. Easy to substitute veggies in the fridge. Great for a change from the normal summer BBQ.

    Delicious - the chicken was juicy and flavorful. Makes great leftovers as well.
