Saigon hoppin' John from The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook: Stories and Recipes for Southerners and Would-Be Southerners by Matt Lee and Ted Lee

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.

Notes about this recipe

    I've made this a couple of times. The first time I made it as directed and liked it but it was nothing to write home about. The second time I planned to serve it with garlic-lemongrass shrimp, and instead of using the vegetable stock, I made a light shrimp broth with the shells and some aromatics, and then I threw in some fish sauce at the end. The second version was fabulous. I often find vegetable stock adds too much sweetness, and I think the umami elements did a much better job of balancing out the coconut milk (though of course it wasn't vegetarian anymore).
