used this as a basis for a modified version, added chicken

This is an excellent recipe.  It's the sesame oil that makes it awesome. 

I added a can of chicken, a tsb of tamari, along with crushed peanuts, and since it was so cold out, I vacu-sealed "thai basil paste" and didn't have to worry about spoilage (ginger, thai basil, lime, and if my tongue served me right, hot pepper).  I got a little vacu-crazy, and added sesame seeds to it as well.  It was excellent, and very filling.

Make this recipe, you wont be disappointed.
