This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the recipe used less chili peppers.

These green beans were good, but not great. I found the coconut milk to be a bit too overpowering. I think I would have preferred it if the recipe used less coconut milk and more vegetables.
