Very good basic recipe

We had just made some fish stock, so this was a perfect recipe. We had turbot, so that's the fish I used. Bulghur is faster to make than rice - I just put it into a bowl with some boiling water and let that steam while doing the rest. Added chile pepper flakes for more heat. It was really tasty. Would definitely make again (with veg stock if I didn't have fish stock).

Pros: Easy

Substituted Chicken Broth

After reading the reviews that mentioned the broth was bland we substituted the chicken broth with Pacific Foods Chicken Pho Soup Starter. It provided depth and complexity.

Good Idea

This recipe reminded me of Thai food my mom makes so I went with the basics- sweet, salty, sour, bitter and hot. Add in some soy sauce, sugar, extra lemon... Basically, find yourself another recipe. This recipe is a great base if you want to play around with technique and flavors.

Pros: Quick, Easy, Basic
