* If use garlic at home, please use garlic. The original recipe had garlic.

* According to your level of spiciness add or remove dry red chilly.

*Pls do not cover & cook the veggies, it will become soggy.

* If you have a wok pan, pls use it as it will be good for stir fry.

* If you have tofu pls use it as well goes well with thai cuisine.

* Please do add salt to water while boiling the noodles itself.
