This recipe was made for me many years ago. I always remembered its amazing flavours so a while back I recreated it – the issue was that I never followed a recipe, I just made it to suit my taste. My friends kept asking what was in it and encouraged me to write it down. So after many requests, I put pen to paper, but honestly I still adapt it to suit my taste buds. For example, I love limes so sometimes I add some extra lime juice, or extra ginger. It is great as a lunch dish served with prawn crackers.
