Thai Style Green Curry

Thai Style Green Curry
Ingredients
6 oz can of bamboo shoots (strips)
1.5 cups fozen green peas
12 oz can of coconut milk
2 cups of chicken broth
2 tbsp of brown sugar
2 tbsp of fish sauce
2 tbsp (thai kitchen) green curry paste. (You can purchase at your local grocery store in the asian aisle or on their website http://www.thaikitchen.com/)
1 lb of chicken breast (diced)
1 tbsp of vegetable oil
Heat up vegetable oil and stir fry chicken until cooked. Add coconut milk, green curry paste, sugar, and fish sauce for 5 minutes. Add green peas and bamboo shoots and cook for 3 minutes.
Serve over brown rice, jasmine rice or sticky rice.
Makes about 4 servings.
This is one of my favorite recipes to put together in under 30 minutes when we don't have any special dinner plans. The green peas can be kept in the freezer and I usually have bamboo shoots and coconut milk in the pantry for other recipes like hot and sour soup, chinese hot pot, other curry recipes. The green curry paste can be kept in the fridge and for $3.50 for the paste I think you can make this meal 4-5 times.
