Notes
To make chicken or pork: Add chicken (cut into small pieces) or pork (thinly sliced) along with onion. Cover and cook on low heat till chicken/pork is tender. Then follow the rest of the recipe as mentioned above. To make fish, follow the same procedure as prawns. The original recipe doesnt use chilli powder and soya sauce. So you can omit it if you want. Fish sauce substitute: combination of 2 parts soy sauce and 1 part lime juice (please note that I havent tried this, but it's recommended in some sites) Please be careful while adding salt, since the fish sauce and soya sauce already has salt in it.
