You can use olive oil instead of coconut, if desired.

I sometimes will add a second can of coconut milk to make it creamier. Be careful about the type of coconut milk you use. I have found that the low-fat version really is too watery.

I have tried this with cashews and/or water chestnuts added for some crunch, as well as the green beans swapped out for another veggie. I prefer green beans, but it was also nice with sugar snap peas or snow peas.

If you want it spicier, add curry paste. If you want it sweeter, add brown sugar. If it needs salt, add a bit more fish sauce.
