"All great truths begin as blasphemies."

The refrigerator light goes on...

I love using light coconut milk for Asian and Indian dishes. These recipes are often very high in fat and calories because of use of too much oil as well as regular coconut milk. Just by being careful with these two ingredients you can cut hundreds of calories from a recipe.

The other secret ingredient in many such recipes is sugar. Often this is measured in tablespoons per serving. Using the honey gives a more intense sweetness but it also adds a creaminess to the dish.

1 Tbsp honey

Slice the white part of the green onions and save the green tops.

Heat the olive oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced green onions, garlic and onion and sauté until they just begin to soften.
