Note

For a vegan version, omit the fish sauce and use soy sauce or tamari instead. Replace chicken with firm tofu or mushrooms.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water to restore moisture.

Adjust the fish sauce to taste; it provides a distinct umami flavor essential to this dish.
