rocketgirl:
curry! 

I tried to recreate something I'd had a restaurant.  Not bad.

Ingredients:
1 teaspoons green curry paste (could have used more or a hotter curry paste)
2 teaspoons curry powder (maybe using stuff that is 20 years old isn't the best choice)
2 1/2 tablespoons of fish sauce
1 can unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 sweet yellow onion cut small (Eric thought it could have used more)
1/2 green pepper cut small
a few carrot sticks cut small for color (because I had some)
about 2 tablespoons of sugar
pile of chicken breast cut approximately bite size (it was what I had in the fridge and I don't know how much it was)
somewhere between 3/4 and 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
1/2 can pineapple chunks, drained (because I really really really like pineapple)

And separately, 2 cups instant rice per the instructions on the box

I put everything in the skillet and brought to a low boil and cooked at low boil around 15 minutes or so. Then added pineapple for another 5 - 10.  The fresh pineapple should have been put in sooner or cut smaller, as it was still awfully firm.  A little cornstarch might could have thickened the sauce a bit, but I didn't have any.

Serve over rice.
