Dagnabbit, I accidentally omitted the chicken, and having leftover
chicken was the reason I made this in the first place. lol You are
right, you can add the chicken while it simmers. I have made a
vegetarian version using vegetable broth.


Tonight, I am making Vietnamese summer rolls because I have leftover
chicken, again. I need to make the peanut sauce this morning, I think
it tastes better after the flavors blend.
