Commentary:

I love this recipe! It tastes so good. Be careful not to eat to much, though.  Coconut milk is not that healthy. 

My friend, Mary, showed me how to make Thai curry.  The recipe is in fact listed on the Mae Ploy yellow curry paste container.  I just decided that chicken was my favorite meat to use and that I wanted more garlic.  I also added peppers, bok choy, and green onions to give the curry more substance.

Just in case you didn't know, you can eat the white and green leafy part of the bok choy.  The first time I taught my husband how to make this, he threw away the green part and I was sad.  Luckily, I had just put in a new bag to line the garbage can so it wasn't a big deal to pull the green part back out. 

Feel free to add other vegetables and meat.  You might try pork and bean sprouts for example. Let us know how your curry turns out!
