Cooking Tips
Make sure to add coconut milk last and cook no longer than 1-2 minutes to prevent curdling.
This is one of my favorite brands of coconut milk. It isn't overly watery and has a good amount of thick coconut cream inside. Because the cream tends to separate, make sure to thoroughly shake the can before opening or whisk it together after opening.

I really liked this dish. I substituted a couple of items I did not have. I think it would have been even tastier if I had all the ingredients called for!
