Prepare your ingredients, and let the slow cooker do the rest!
I used to always serve this dish with rice, but recently I developed a way to cook noodles in the slow cooker along with the sauce, making it an ideal one-pot meal and perfect for prepping those weekday lunches ahead of time. If you’d prefer to serve it with rice, just leave out the noodles and stock. This lean recipe uses reduced-fat coconut milk and no oil.
