    Not Impressed

    Jennifer W. from Oregon

    When I read the ingredients and saw and 4-star review I thought this dish would be great, but after trying it I have to say that I'm just not impressed. It was too bland and the tomato paste overwhelmed the coconut juice. The seasoning wasn't quite right and I couldn't figure out what to add that would ajust the taste to my liking. I also think that the cooking time needs to be increased to make the meat more tender. My suggestion: cook the beef for 20 minutes, add the carrots and cook for another 30 to 40 minutes or cut the beef cubes into 1/2-inch pieces and cook as directed. There was one thing that I did like - the preparation was very quick and it was easy to cook.

    cocconut juice

    anne nguyen from Dallas, TX

    Please note the cocconut juice in this recipe is not cocconut cream. The recipe looks very good, I think cocconut juice can be substitute with water and 1-2 teaspoon of water. Thanks
