Can’t find those frozen seabed coconut here in Aus. How much to use if I am using dried seabed coconut?
Dear Ange, on average, for an average pot of about 3 L soup, use 10-12 large flakes. It’s definitely not as sweet or rich as the fresh coconut, but with limited choices, that’s still OK. Hope this helps! Lisa

Hello Lady Tong,
This recipe looks so interesting & ingredients are so simple. Now it’s simmering in my 7L Thermal Pot
But… It seem to lack a certain depth like what I used to.
Hopefully, after afew hours, it will taste better with 1 Sweet Date & 3 Dried Scallop added
Dear Rosaline, thank you for the feedback. The dried scallops actually do make a significant difference over time. That’s what the soup needs, is sometimes time to have all the flavours come out. Let me know how it ended up and how long you left is in the thermal pot for! Lisa
