Vietnamese Curry or Cari

After being a little homesick and missing some good homecooking, I researched the Internet and found this recipe for one of my favorite Vietnamese comfort foods. This recipe tastes just like what Mom use to make, and my Western husband loves us. We've had it twice in the last month.
