Recipe Ingredients and Substitutions

• You can replace the water with chicken broth, pork broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
• If you use MSG (monosodium glutamate), you can replace the sugar with ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon of MSG.
• If allergic to fish sauce, you don’t have to include it. You just need to adjust the salt to your taste.
• You can also use frozen coconut milk, instead of canned coconut milk, but please make sure to thaw it first.

Tips and Suggestions

• When simmering the liquid will be reduced. If the liquid starts to dry up, you can add a little bit of water to keep it from drying.
• Please add the salt last. The fish sauce is already salty, your dish might need not salt.
• I don’t recommend adding coconut milk before the meat is tender. Adding the coconut milk too soon will make the oil separate.
• If you like spicy, you can add chopped chili, red pepper flakes, or even sriracha sauce.

Serve

You can serve this dish with rice for lunch or supper. Bread, biscuits, or dinner rolls is also perfect for this dish.

Leftovers and Reheating Instructions

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• You can reheat one serving at a time in the microwave for 40-60 seconds.
