I will tantalize your tastebuds by mentioning some of the ingredients I used (I don&#8217;t follow recipes exactly): ginger, chili pepper, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, lemon, sugar, coconut milk, tofu, rice noodles, snow peas, tomatoes, scallions, bok choy, cilantro, basil, oyster mushrooms. Spinach would also work really well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does a group of scientists and tree enthusiasts do when they go on a retreat?
