| This is the result of NO IDEA what to cook one night and perusing the refrigerator to see what treasures it would reveal. Very tasty. Bulk up on the vegetables, add more if you want to make it a very substantial meal for zero extra points. Even with the recommended amount, though, it's PLENTY. Careful with the curry paste...it's potent! |
