Best thing I cooked yet! I used cream, next time I will use coconut milk.

How much chili?

I just used a few sprinkles of red chilli flakes. Next time when I use the coconut milk I’m going to use more to balance the sweetness.

I’m glad you like the recipe. I had a lot of fun developing it.
@kic1970: Use just as much Chili as you like!

We added a handful of sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce. It was great!

What does the 0.5p+0.5C mean against the coconut milk mean
Julie
Great meal!
I really enjoyed it…
Stefania
Yummy! I was out of coconut milk and subbed almond milk instead. Still very good!
Heather
Is there a substitute for mushrooms if I really dislikes them? Cooking the chicken in marinated chili / garlic sounds awesome, but is there a different sauce that could be used?

is it red peppers like red bell pepper? or chili peppers?

I’m with you Julie. What does the 0.5p+0.5C mean regarding the coconut milk mean

This was sooo tastey!! I added curry with the coconut milk and veggies and it was delicious. Next time, I will probably allow the sauce to thicken in consistency.

This was a great recipe. I added the juice of 1 lime to the pan after everything had been incorporated and it really kicked it up a notch. I think cilantro would be a nice addition as well.

I think the 0.5p+0.5C means 1/2 protein, 1/2 carb for those of us who count the nutrients.

is it supposed to be soupie? or is the sauce supposed to be thick?

Should I be using unsweetened coconut milk? Why would I choose one over another? Thanks.

@rtaco2 – I’ve actually never seen sweetened coconut milk in a can. Maybe they sell it at Asian markets? If you’re using the coconut milk in a carton, which is just water, some coconut milk, sugar and other additives, this recipe calls for coconut milk in a can, which is just coconut flesh ground up with water and thickened with guar gum. It’s much thicker than the stuff in the carton, which is more like coconut beverage. Hope that helps.
