2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 (16-ounce) package broccoli slaw
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lite soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil

2. Add salt and curry powder; cook 1 minute. Add onions, and cook 1 minute.

Cooking Tip: To prevent the coconut milk from separating, be sure to mix well before adding to the skillet. Use rubber gloves to handle jalapeno peppers, especially the seeds. Oils from the seeds can burn your skin and eyes.
Cooking Tip: Raw green onions have, in a small number of instances, been connected to food-borne illness. The only reliable way to eliminate this risk is to cook green onions thoroughly. Saute in a skillet for 2 mintues.
