What’s wrong with using canned coconut milk?

Great dish. I used dried Thai chili peppers because I want able to find any fresh and it turned out great. I also threw inn some diced onion and red bell peppers because I had to use them up. Thank u for sharing. I’ll absolutely be making this again.
This is one of my go-to recipes I use on a regular basis. It is a complete meal and very flavorful. I make it with whole wheat linguine rather than rice noodles since I find that rice noodles get mushy when reheating leftovers. Using frozen green beans saves a lot of prep work, and it tastes just as good too.
If you put your rice noodles in water to reheat, they taste like you just made them. I usually keep them separate from main dishes and combine together with leftovers after reheated in water.
