Take note!
  • Cream of coconut - when opening the
    coconut milk can, don't shake or mix
    its content. The Cream of coconut is
    the thicker milk at the top of the can.


Alternatives:
  • Use regular grind peanuts. Reduce
    fish sauce if using salted peanuts.
  • Use 1 medium onion instead of
    the shallots.
