O...Tried this recipe for the first time yesterday. Overall, the flavor is great. I think reducing or eliminating the water (as someone suggested) could be a good step. Also, when the jalapeno and green onion is allowed to cook is a big factor in this dish. The longer both are left to cook the less you'll taste either. Really liked the peanuts as a topping. (Chose lightly salted roasted peanuts) <br /><br />I am a huge fan of Chef John in large part because he makes cooking relatively simple and uses videos for basic instruction.Also, he generally stays away from exotic ingredients and complicated preparations. I use his recipes at least 2-3 times a week and his blog is always the first place I go when looking for new ideas.

It could be pork-filled, shrimp-filled, or even bacon-filled if that helps you help me. The other part of the story I was hoping to omit for the sake of brevity, is that by watching your great videos I've became a lazy bastard and do not have the patience to watch anybody else cooking on-line, taking hours to do a quick demo.

I had breasts instead of thighs, which I'm sure would have been better, and I couldn't get fish sauce on short notice so I used oyster sauce. I'll just say that like others I think I'll use less liquid or reduce the sauce alone for awhile next time.

I think I may have let the jalapenos cook down too long? I think next time I will only use 1 and reduce the liquid less. <br />Thanks Chef John!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695684114508956167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-26546210677931911022010-03-02T10:48:11.245-05:002010-03-02T10:48:11.245-05:00I just found you, Chef John, a few days ago and yo...I just found you, Chef John, a few days ago and you have got me excited about cooking!!

Second, there really is no need for the water, it takes to long to reduce down to a thick syrup. I was afraid the chicken was going to overcook it simmered so long. No sense in adding so much liquid if all you are going to do is just going to boil it off. Very good flavor however, thank you.DavidRayRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142435361277382105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-57395286250172779542009-09-30T13:03:29.511-04:002009-09-30T13:03:29.511-04:00We've made this several times and never get ti...We've made this several times and never get tired of it.
