  1. I was looking for a recipe so I could use up a bunch of kale and found this. I’m trying to eat low/no fat at this time son instead of using oil, I just sautee the onions and garlic, for instance, in water so I’ll go with that. I wanted to ask if you thought soy milk mixed with some corn starch to thicken it would be a good (low fat) substitution for the coconut milk?

    1. Hi! I’ve not tried that, but certainly I think a viable option. Let me know how it turns out.
