    Outstanding!

    The Butler Family from California

    We absolutely love this recipe! I add a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar for sweetness. I've served it over both rice & noodles - we prefer rice! Hoisin sauce is a nice replacement for the chili sauce (just add a dash of red pepper). Also, a whole can of coconut milk is better and I've used regular milk, rice, & soy without any change to flavor. Enjoy! :)
