Serving suggestions

Variations

If using boneless chicken, you can cut it into smaller chunks, but you will need to reduce the cooking time accordingly.

Try it with other poultry or game birds.

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
