TOFU RED CURRY WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Cook the noodles as the label directs. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns deep red, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in the coconut milk, ginger and brown sugar. Increase the heat to high and bring to a vigorous simmer. Stir in the squash, haricots verts and bell pepper. Cover, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the squash is just tender and the beans and bell pepper are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.

RED COCONUT CURRY NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, scoop the cream off the top of each can of coconut and put it in the pot. The cream will be used as the "fat" instead of oil or butter. Along with the cream, add the curry paste and ginger. Let this simmer, stirring constantly, for about one minute.
• Add the chicken and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Add the coconut milk, sweet Thai chili sauce, cilantro, and chicken broth. Bring this to a simmer.
• Add the red pepper, broccoli slaw and/or carrots and noodles and salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom, for about 5-8 minutes. The noodles will thicken and plump up as they absorb the liquid. The mixture will be slightly soupy when the noodles are finished cooking.
• Take the pot off the heat and let the noodles sit for about 5 minutes. The mixture will continue to thicken. Garnish with more cilantro, if desired.
