    Coconut milk - The staple of Asian cooking! This stuff is so creamy that I substituted coconut  milk instead of heavy cream to make this Instant Pot Pasta with Tomato No-Cream Sauce and it tastes fabulous!

    Chicken Stock - Adds instant flavor to any dish. You could use water or veggie stock, but I found that chicken stock made the best tasting Thai red curry.

      When my husband says “You can make this again”; I know it’s a winner. I only added one thing to give it more spice and that was Chili Garlic Sauce. Thank you for such an easy, tasty dish.

      Love this and made it tonight doubling the recipe to have later in the week. Almost always have these ingredients making this one that I keep in rotation. To give it a little more kick, I add Chili sauce or red pepper flakes.

      Definitely will try more of your WFPB recipes.
