Hi there don’t seem to be any ingredients that would make a sauce, the only liquid is a tablespoon of coconut oil, could you please let me know how it makes a sauce thank you

HellO! No additional liquid is needed, the chicken and vegetables cook in their juices. You can add 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (the low carb option) dissolved in 1/2 tsp olive oil or 2 tsp of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tsp of water. Stir it into the pot and allow it to thicken.

What measurement for the Thai Seasoning?
