Recipe Notes
This is a really delicious recipe and one of those that you should be able to make from ingredients in your well stocked pantry.
Limes keep well, as do cans of coconut milk, sake (or even dry white wine), and hot red bean paste (or sambal or harissa – see below). If you keep these ingredients on hand, it will be easier and easier to cook and eat healthy.
While this recipe calls for red bean paste, you could use similar hot sauces in a pinch, such as sambal or harissa. The amount will depend on how hot the harissa or sambal is – I’ve had some that are very mild and some that could curl your eyelashes.
