Recipe Note

Coconut Milk. The quality of coconut milk differs vastly and there is much more info on the brands to look for, and those to avoid on the following link. Coconut Milk . The thick coconut milk I refer to when making the coconut syrup is when the solids separate leaving the water behind when the can is left to stand undisturbed. However, if you are using a brand that has a lot of emulsifiers & stabilsers in this won't happen so you will just have to use it as it is.

Steaming sticky rice. I like to use a muslin or cheese cloth inside a strainer for my sticky rice. You can buy these online or in cook shops.

I'm using the Bangkok Green curry paste which is a medium heat here but you can also check out the Mild...

I love Crying Tiger whichever way it is prepared, but there is no doubt that this method of preparation takes it to a different level. The reason for this is that the state is cooked using the Reverse Sear method. This results in a perfec...
