Can’t wait to try this! Please tell me what type of coconut milk that you use. I use an organic coconut milk that stores in the fridge. The consistency is much thinner than the one you use looks like. Is this the canned sweetened stuff that you are using? Thanks in advance

the water in the sauce was unnecessary as it made the sauce too watery
