Evil Jungle Prince with Chicken

Seamus and I lived in Hawaii for two years; it was during these years that we really started to love both eating and cooking. At one point during our time there, we enrolled in a Thai cooking class taught by a Thai woman who was living on Oahu. Many of the recipes that we learned during this time we still cook on a regular basis. Evil Jungle Prince has become a stand by for us both because it is delicious and easy to make. Enjoy!
