Thai Chicken in Red Curry


I love Thai food, not as much as Korean food but close. So tonight I threw together some Thai chicken in red curry and it was DELICIOUS! Completely unauthentic, but delicious and easy:


*Heat 2 TBSP cooking oil in a large pot and add:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin and lightly salted

*Cook until the outside of the chicken starts to turn white. Then throw in:

3-4 small potatoes, chopped

*Stir that up until it's nice and hot and add:

2 TBSP or so of Thai red curry paste

*Stir and cook for about 5 minutes, then throw in the:

1 red bell pepper sliced

1/2 green pepper sliced

1 large onion sliced

1 zucchini chopped

1 container of small white mushrooms

*Cook until the color of the veggies get nice and bright. Stir in:

1 can of coconut milk + 1/2 can of water

a couple drops of fish sauce

2 spoonfuls of brown sugar

*Cook on medium heat with the lid on until the potatoes are just done, under 10 minutes and salt to taste. Serve over rice (never use Minute Rice, use a good, authentic, sticky Asian rice) and top with a little cilantro and/or basil and garnish with a lime. It's good, try it!

"My professional life has been centered on the home, the well being of the family and everything that these subjects encompass. When I began working in this area more than 25 years ago, the subject of homemaking as it relates to families was largely overlooked, though the interest was clearly broad and the desire for information strong. My colleagues and I soon discovered we were satisfying a deeply felt unmet need."
