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.
