OK, as you know, we will sometimes go to the Thai noodle house, get the spicy Thai noodles and the GREEN CURRY! What on earth goes into green curry??????? I have made it my goal to learn, because I swear it is my absolute favorite dish on earth. (I think green curry has coconut milk and lime, along with curry etc)
WElllllll, Susan last week is like "I have this curry dish my kids always ask for when they visit. I'll give you the recipe, its vegetarian, and I combined different recipes to make it!". And gives me this A PLUS recipe that uses up all the veggies in the fridge. AND I say to myself "I bet I can make spicy Thai basil noodles, duh, easy!".
And so yesterday, i did :) Recipes follow.....
Gary's spicy Thai basil noodle
-cook 1 1/2 cup rice noodles. drain
-in fry pan, pour in 2 TBS sesame oil, diced garlic, lots of pepper flakes, saute a minute or 2, then added one cup halved grape tomatoes and a handful basil leaves, stir around in the hot oil about a minute, then remove from heat, add cooked noodles, stir around, DONE :)
Susan's curry, Gary style
1 can coconut milk
16 oz can diced tomato
16 oz can white beans
3 potatoes--white and sweet mix is fun
2 cups frozen green veggies, like peas and broccoli

diced squash, or whatever:

one onion
a lot of fresh garlic
