This is one of those sauces that can make shoe leather taste good! My favorite use for it is the Thai Chicken Slaw recipe that’s also shared here, but it’s great with any grilled meat, veggie “noodles”, or a simple salad. You can thin the sauce with a little more coconut milk, or even chicken broth if you find it too thick. The sauce does thin when heated.
