I've made this since the day it was published in the palo alto jr. league cook book.<br/>but instead of coconut milk I use the coco-loco (the kind you put in <br/>tropical drinks. it adds a little sweetness so the food goes in a little sweet and<br/>the spice hits the back of your throat. I serve small bowls of condiments<br/>i.e.: peanuts, scallions,banana, sieved eggs, chopped pineapple,mango <br/>papaya,sweet dried coconut.<br/><br/>it is great for a large party--pretty, elegant and affordable
