Although this recipe is fairly high in saturated fat, the coconut milk does provide lots of vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, copper, selenium, magnesium and manganese. Vegans/vegetarians can experiment with replacing the shrimp paste and fish/oyster sauce with small amounts of miso or sea vegetables.

1/2 tsp ground tumeric
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp caraway seeds
2 tsp fish or oyster sauce
