Chef's notes

Husband suggested adding some horseradish to the mixture plus extra chilli, garlic and ginger. Also he prefers spring onions as listed in the original recipe.

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.
