I got this very delicious recipe from Simply Ming on PBS. Simply heat and cook for 10 minutes 1 cup of paste, add 4 washed chicken pieces and a diced egg plant. Cook till chicken is done. Equal parts of paste and mayonnaise makes a delicious sandwich spread. Spoon into soup. Use as accompaniment to cooked food.
