Instructions:

  5. Pour Coconut Milk: Carefully pour the thicker cream from the top of the coconut milk can into the wok, followed by the remaining coconut milk, whisking gently to combine.

  6. Incorporate Remaining Ingredients: Add water, salt, lemongrass (bruised to release flavor), fish sauce, and brown sugar to the wok, stirring until well combined.
