Green Bean Curry (Aka Country Curry Or Jungle Ingredients
1 lb fresh green beans
2 tbsp thai curry paste
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 bamboo shoots (optional)
6 cup chicken broth
Green Bean Curry (Aka Country Curry Or Jungle Directions
Clean and pick green bean tips. In a dutch oven (or equivalent size
vessel), heat oil. Add curry paste and "fry" until fragrant, about 1
minute. Add broth, green beans, bamboo shoots (or other vegetable).
Bring to a rapid boil and cook like that for about 15-20 minutes
(watching that liquid doesn't reduce too much; add water as
necessary). Reduce heat to a hard simmer and continue cooking until
green beans are VERY done and have absorbed the flavor of the curry
broth. Serve in bowls over rice.
NOTES: If necessary, you may substitute whole frozen green beans for
fresh.
Thai Curry Paste: "Country Curry" or "Red Curry"; but they are all
flavorful. Mae Ploy and Tommy Tang are other good brands.
Bamboo shoots: I like to use a large can of bamboo tips because they
are tender and I can cut them into 1/4 inch thick round slices. You
can also use a couple of the small cans of sliced bamboo shoots, but
they will not absorb the flavor as well. I think carrots cut into
coins would also be good, if you like those. I tried potatoes once,
but they just disintegrated.)

Food Quotes:
Nobody seems more obsessed by diet than our anti-materialistic, otherworldly, New Age spiritual types. But if the material world is merely illusion, an honest guru should be as content with Budweiser and bratwurst as with raw carrot juice, tofu and seaweed slime.
Edward Abbey
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
