My husband loves, loves, LOVES curry - be it Indian, Thai, or anything else. Well, a sushi restaurant near his job serves this delicious, spicy, and sweet red curry. I have been trying to figure out how to do it. And now I have. This recipe tastes exactly how the restaurant stuff does, and it comes together in close to 20 minutes. Ingredients:

14 ounces coconut milk |
2 tablespoons fish sauce |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
5 ounces bamboo shoots (canned, drained and rinsed) |
5 ounces water chestnuts (canned, drained and rinsed) |
1/2-1 lb cooked chicken or 1/2-1 lb pork or 1/2-1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined) or 1/2-1 lb tofu (**note -- using any meat is optional. i have lightly fried some tofu and used that instead for a mea) |
4 -6 cups cooked jasmine rice |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, over medium high heat, combine coconut milk and curry paste – heat and stir constantly until the majority of the paste has dissolved.
2. And fish sauce and brown sugar, stirring until dissolved.
