At my big age of 27, this is my first time leaving a review on a recipe. This was SO delicious. A couple things I did differently that I think helped: I used regular coconut milk, added a touch more salt, and per other's suggestion, doubled the sauce (great advice). Served it on a bed of rice & a side of broccolini. 100/10, this is a new staple in my house.
