Easy curried broccoli
This one is so easy, you'll be shocked. At an Asian food store buy a container of Mae Ploy green curry paste. (Cheap. Less than five bucks. Will last for months.) Put one tablespoon of the paste into a pan with two cups of boiling water and throw in brocolli, boiling until tender. The broccoli absorbs flavor from the broth and develops the most delectable taste. If you aren't fond of spicy food, use only a teaspoon. The paste looks and smells absolutely atrocious before you cook it, but believe me, it turns out great. The same company also makes red and yellow curry pastes. All three types make wonderful chicken stir fry with vegetables, and they combine nicely with coconut milk. But the green is still my favorite by far. |
