For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute with heavy cream for a creamier sauce. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for spiciness. This dish is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. Serve with a side of coleslaw or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the stew.
