We ate ours over couscous and I know my mom served hers over whole wheat soba noodles. I recommend something that will soak up the extra coconut sauce, as that was the best part! My mom's taste testers were glad she accidentally forgot to add the cilantro, so I didn't include it and Ryan wished I had. It's up to you if you want it or not. Don't omit the peanuts on top--that was my mom's addition and definitely a good suggestion!
In short, this recipe solidified what I already knew: obey your parents!
