"This hot and sour sauce which goes well with taro, breadfruit,and other starchy vegetables or any seafood dish. The sauce is used to accompany foods from Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti or Hawaii. Use coconut cream which has no added sugar, not cream of coconut used in cocktails. I find it at local Asian grocery stores."
