Serve with rice. Good receipe I would modify the receipe a little and cut the meat into smaller pieces, and ensure that I only use the leaves of the cilantro. This was the first receipe that I have ever used needing so much Ginger (need a better way to prep), getting the ginger ready took a long time so be prepared.
