Reviews
I served it with oven fried chicken. It was excellent, better than what I expected. The entire family loved it as well and we’re pretty picky. Thanks for the incredible recipe. Nothing needs to be altered or doctored. Will definitely make this again!
Easy and delicious.
Delicious. Used vegetable broth and no coconut milk.
Made precisely as written to accompany roasted pork tenderloin and some fried, garlicky cabbage and broccoli. This is delicious, full of flavor and super easy to make. One could add toasted pecans for texture contrast if desired. I will definitely be making this one again. Thank you for posting this great, quick recipe for others to share!
