More About This Recipe

I try to lighten up things when I can but you can use regular coconut milk. I have also used peanut butter substitutes like Better N Butter to cut calories and fat. Feel free to add in your favorites vegetables. Sometimes I add zucchini and bamboo shoots. If you garnish with dried cilantro, rehydrate it a bt!
