I got home late and didn't have time to make rice, so we substituted couscous. It was delicious, also used frozen corn as per other reviews.02/01/10

We made this last night, and it was ok, but seemed to be lacking in flavor. Maybe it needed more of the fish sauce/lime juice combo...it was ok once we squeezed more lime juice over it. Served with brown rice. I'll be trying it again with a couple of modifications.03/03/09
