Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Good, but I think it could have used some sweetness to balance the other flavors. Not sure. Maybe it's stock like others suggested

    Not sure what, but something was missing from this dish. While it had a wonderful aroma and (in theory) good ingredient combinations, something from this dish just didn't click with me. I think like Emily said, it would have benefitted from having veggie stock or some other kind of stock added instead of water. I tried adding more salt and pepper but that only did so much. Hoping it'll settle and be mores tasty tomorrow as leftovers. As it stands, I'm not sure I'd make again.

    This has avgolemono vibes with the eggs swirled in, but I like how it gives it some more heft and protein. I had green Thai curry paste from a Thai grocery, which was rather spicy, but the rest of this didn't feel as flavorful as I wanted. I think it might benefit from some kind of stock instead of water mixed with the coconut milk.

    This was fabulous and simple. if you keep a basic blend of curry paste and coconut milk on hand, this can be whipped up very quickly and supplemented with various bits from the fridge or pantry. We liked it best on the soupy side.

    Loved this dish so much! Had this for a breakfast and was so pleased to have such a flavorful start to the day!
