Thai Curry Stir Fry

May 25, 2006 by Tricia

Thirteen Things about Tonights Dinner

1…. This is such a fantastic dinner I thought I’d give you the recipe.

2…. Start with 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut up into small pieces.

3…. Add 1 tbsp Canola oil to a large pan or wok, heat on low until oil is hot and then add the chicken to the pan, stirring occasionally until the meat looks cooked.

4…. Add one can of Thai Green Curry sauce. Most grocery stores seem to carry this these days, just look in the aisle where rice is sold, or where products to make Chinese, Mexican and Indian foods are sold.

5…. The Thai curry sauce is hot, so I often add a half can of Coconut milk to it to tone it down. Works beautifully.

6…. Once the sauce, coconut milk and chicken has simmered on low for 5 minutes I add the rest of the ingredients.

7…. I was lazy this evening. I added two cups of frozen veggies consisting of cauliflower, carrot, broccoli. I also had some pre-chopped frozen peppers and zucchini in the freezer that I added to the mix.

8…. 1 can of sliced water chestnuts

9…. 1 cup snow peas (you know the green pea shells)

10…. Let this mix simmer for another 15 minutes on low heat.

11…. While the above ingredients were cooking I got out another pot and heated water in it. I then added a package of Rice Vermicelli noodles to the water and let the noodles sit in the warm water for 5 minutes to soften up.

12…. When the Thai curry stir fry looks and smells (mmmmm) done (approximately 20 to 25 minutes from the start of cooking) toss in the vermacelli noodles and serve. This curry can also be served over a bed of rice, which is the way we usually have it.

13…. Now I just need someone to feed. It’s almost 8 p.m. and our border hasn’t come home yet. He hasn’t even called to say he would be late. I’m ticked because he does this all the time. I think it’s just rude and disrespectful. Don’t you? My husband won’t be home until after 10 p.m. because he’s working an evening shift. He can, and will, enjoy the meal when he comes home.

Well, maybe my roomie Noi will enjoy this meal with me. She has her own Thursday Thirteen up now too, so go see her!

    Yum, what a neat list! What a delicious-sounding dish! Now I’m getting hungry.

    Heh. I’ll bet it won’t take me 13 steps to throw together a bologna sandwich. 🙂

    That sounds almost exactly like my recipe for curry chicken. I also add coconut milk to tone down the spiciness although to me, its just not curry if your nose isn’t running! Thanks for stopping by my place and leaving a comment. Have a great holiday weekend!

    Well, I was there with you right up until you mentioned Thai – and I had to quit reading…. I won’t give details – they’re not pretty! But it sounds like you enjoyed it – so that’s good. There’s always something wrong with a cook who can’t enjoy what they’ve cooked!

    My list is up!

    This sounds so healthy and like something I would like to try…it IS aggravating when dinner is made and the consumers:-) are no where to be found. A few years back, our microwave was stolen, and until we got a new one (about a week) when dinner was ready, DINNER WAS READY…no phone calls, no “one more thing”, no bathroom stops…

    That was a blast from the past…:-)

    I thought I’d let you know where I’ve decided to join the movement (so to speak)–howbeit with some hesitation; in my own case, remember that Thursday Thirteens are likely to be sporadic for the most part, a novelty more than anything.

    I hope such will agree with you.

  27. Janice says

    May 27, 2006 at 3:55 am

    oh – my hubby would LOVE that. Me – I am not good with spicy!
