Nick:

How much exactly is 5 pieces? 5 very thin slices of the root, or does
it come packaged in a way that already has it broken into pieces?
Also, I assume thick coconut milk is found in the can in the store and
labeled as such. It's been a while since I purchased any, but I don't
remember seeing the words 'thick' or 'thin' on the can. Thanks for the
recipe - Tom Kah Gai is one of my favorites.
