Notes
- This dish is relatively quick and easy to cook, but preparing the vegetable into small pieces can be a bit tedious. To save time, bundle and line up several beans on the cutting board, trim off the stems, and slice into the desired length all at once.
- For a smooth consistency, cook the coconut sauce in a gentle simmer, and do not allow it to come to a rolling boil lest it curdles and separates.
- If you prefer less heat, scrape off the seeds and veins before chopping the chili peppers.
