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.

Notes about this recipe

  • Delys77 on August 28, 2012

    Pg 325 Simple but very flavourful. The coconut milk lends the familiar flavour and texture that is common to SE Asain curries but since the other components of the sauce are restricted to fish sauce and some aromatics the experience is quite different. Umami, sweet, and rich, wihthout the heat one seems to be waiting for. Different in a very good way. I woudl suggest drecreasing the coconut milk a little since you aren't reducing it and the suggested amount yileds a little too much sauce.
