This was just OK. We couldn't taste the coconut milk at all. I doubt I'll make it again.

I really liked the rice noodles, and the whole thing had great flavor as well as being easy to prepare.

I made it as stated. Not enough flavor made as is, I would add something more to it, then it wouldn't be this recipe. Maybe more curry, a little garlic and red pepper flakes.
