NOTES : Fortunately, many Southeast Asia ingredients formerly considered exotic

are now regularly stocked on supermarket shelves. You'll need Thai curry paste

and a stalk of lemon grass to get the great taste that this quick recipe

delivers. If your supermarket doesn't carry them, try an Asian market. it's

worth the effort to have these ingredients on hand. Serve this memorable stew on

its own or over jasmine or basmati rice. [VT - Recipes and strategies excerpted
