1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic

In a small bowl, combine the coconut milk, soy sauce, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. 

Place a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add red pepper flakes, zest, garlic, and curry powder and stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
