This Thai Green Coconut Sauce, or Tai Green Chili Sauce is very versatile. When ever I make it, I always have a fair amount left over. Never mind, I just freeze it and have at ready to add to a grilled or pan seared dish. I have already used it with grilled pork and chicken, but I thought it would also be delicious with Pan Seared Salmon and Baby Bok Choy.
