Tips And Substitutions

Helpful tips

• Read the full method once before cooking so the timing and texture make sense.
• Taste and adjust salt, acidity, coconut richness, or heat near the end instead of at the start.
• Serve the dish while the main texture is still at its best, especially for seafood, greens, and coconut sauces.

Substitutions and variations

• Use the closest fresh local ingredient when the exact island ingredient is difficult to find.
• Coconut milk can usually be made richer with coconut cream or lighter with a little water.
• Keep chilli optional when cooking for a mixed table, then serve extra heat on the side.
