Time-Saving Tips
Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients chopped and ready so that all you need to do is add them in when the time comes. Slice your onion and red pepper into thin strips so they take a shorter amount of time to soften in the pan.
If you’ve never used coconut milk, make sure to use the canned variety that you can find in your local grocery store. If you don’t have fresh ginger on hand, substitute with 1 tbsp ground ginger.
