| Comments: | This recipe uses coconut milk powder, which can be found in Asian grocery stores, Wegmans, or online. This is a great ingredient to have on hand for camping because you can use as much or as little as you’d like, and the leftovers will keep until you need them again, unlike canned coconut milk which needs to be used or refrigerated after opening. |
