SCRUMPTIOUS THAI COCONUT RED CURRY

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan combine 1/2 to Tbsp Red Curry paste (I like it spicy -- so I use 1 Tbsp) with one can of coconut milk. (I use light coconut milk to save calories/fat).
• Simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup fresh basil, 1/4 cup bamboo shoots, 3 tsp Fish Sauce, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/3 cup chicken stock, and 1/2 cup of your favorite mushrooms (I use the Japanese style and shitake). Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
• While you are simmering -- saute the chopped peppers (1 or 2 inch pieces) and chopped onion in a frying pan or wok lightly covered in olive oil. Fry lightly peppered chicken breasts till cooked through.
• Place sauteed peppers and onions on bowls of rice and spoon curry sauce over rice. You can either use curry sauce to lightly flavor rice or more as a soupy type mixture. I use short grain brown rice -- but any type is fine. Add cut chicken breast or other meat/tofu if desired.

5-INGREDIENT MARINATED FLANK STEAK WITH COCONUT CURRY RICE

Steps:

• Pat the flank steak dry and place it in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
• Blend the coconut milk, red curry paste and cilantro stems in a blender on high until fully incorporated and the cilantro stems are very finely chopped. Pour 1 cup of the coconut curry mixture into a large liquid measuring cup and set aside. Pour the remaining mixture over the steak and coat on both sides. Cover the steak and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Stir 1 1/2 cups water into the reserved 1 cup of coconut curry mixture and transfer to a medium saucepan. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook over medium-high heat until boiling. Stir in the rice and bring the mixture to a boil once again. Stir the rice, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and drain well on a paper towel-lined sheet pan. Pat the steak with paper towels to remove any excess marinade. Drizzle one side of the steak with about 1 tablespoon oil and use a silicone brush to spread it evenly over the steak. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the steak to the grill pan, seasoned-side down. Coat the top with about 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. For medium rare, grill the steak for 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and let rest for 10 minutes.
