Having fresh garlic and ginger on hand is easy when you buy it
fresh and store it in the freezer. I don't peel the garlic before freezing - I
just throw it in a freezer bag then pull it out and peel/chop while frozen.
This recipe can be varied according to what veggies you have on hand. You can
even omit the chicken for an equally yummy and very simple vegetarian
dish. The spices and coconut milk are what make this recipe
delicious and interchangeable. This recipe was adapted from a dish
featured on Mel's Kitchen Cafe.
