This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time. Other than that, it was a good recipe.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili peppers. Other than that, it was a great recipe.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the coconut milk and the spiciness of the chili peppers complement each other perfectly. I also love the addition of the lime juice, which brightens up the flavors.

This recipe was easy to follow, even for a beginner cook like me. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt to the sauce. Other than that, it was perfect!

I love how versatile this recipe is. I didn't have lemongrass on hand, so I used a bit of ginger instead, and it turned out great. I also added a squeeze of lime juice at the end, which really brightened up the flavors.
