Mmm Spicy

I'm feeling saucy....a nice spicy curry to be exact...oh and speaking of sauce,the "sauce master" will be making an appearance on my blog soon. I'll introduce you later!

Now, let's cook!

Thai (ish) Veggie curry with spiced noodles

First we are going to make the curry paste, you can always purchase some, but I've found and tweaked this recipe and I really like it. Lots of times if I buy a paste it just doesn't taste right or its not spicy enough etc. So I make it!

You'll need:
*3-6 red chili peppers seeded and chopped (hello latex gloves!)
*About an inch or two of ginger root peeled and chopped
*1 lemongrass stem chopped
*1 tsp of black pepper
*two garlic cloves chopped
*1/2 med sized onion chopped
*juice from one lime
*1/4 cup of cilantro(fresh!)
*one tbs olive oil

Mix all of the curry paste ingredients in a food processor until smooth

Ok set aside and we will prep our veggies, you can put anything you like! I always head to valli produce and get whatever A)looks good and B)is on sale. Here is what I love:

*Fresh green beans
* sliced carrots
*sliced zucchini
*sliced chinese eggplant
*more cilantro!
*red pepper
*cherry tomatoes

Now we will begin the cooking process.

You'll need oil for cooking about two tbs and 12 oz can of coconut milk
About 1/4 cup water

*Add your oil to a large fry pan. When hot pour your prepared curry into pan and stir constantly for about 3-5 minutes until heated through. You will smell it! Mmmm
*Stir in the coconut milk and water
* Stir occasionally until boiling making sure to scrape the sides and bottom so nothing burns or sticks!
*Once boiling add your veggies and reduce your heat!
Cover your pan Cook until veggies are tender to your liking!

While that's cooking make your noodles.

You will need:
* some thin noodles like rice or egg noodles
*one diced garlic clove
*tbs chili flakes
*1/2 tsp sea salt
* the other half of that previous onion chopped
*1/2 tsp
*olive oil to coat noodles
And cook garlic and onion

*Boil and cook the noodles
*in a separate pan heat the oil and cook onion garlic and spices until onion is carmelised
* Drain noodles toss in oil and garlic/onion/spice mixture.
*add to a serving dish

Remove the veggies and curry and put them into a serving dish as well!

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
