Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet on high heat. Add chicken cubes; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium-high and add coconut cream and curry sauce. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in vermicelli pasta and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain.
- Reduce skillet heat to simmer. Add the noodles and let simmer until flavors are absorbed, about 5 minutes. Divide chicken and noodles among individual serving bowls.

RED CURRY CHICKEN STIR-FRY
Steps:
- Heat a wok over high heat. When the wok begins to smoke, add 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil. Add the carrots and green beans and stir-fry for 1 minute. Splash in 2 tablespoons stock to facilitate cooking and stir-fry for another minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Wipe the wok dry and return to the heat. When the wok is hot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil. Add the garlic, ginger and half the chiles and stir-fry for less than 1 minute. Add the curry paste and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the kaffir lime leaves and chicken and stir-fry until the chicken has browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk and stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup stock, the shiitake mushrooms, scallion light parts, bean sprouts and fish sauce and cook until the chicken has cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add the green beans and carrots back in and season with salt and white pepper. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with the remaining chilies, some bean sprouts, the scallion greens and cilantro.
GRILLED THAI RED CURRY CHICKEN
I LOVE Thai Curry, but I didn't like the idea of simmering chicken in coconut milk for an hour and serving it all together...too many calories! This way you marinate to get the flavor and then cook the sauce separately to serve on the side (or not have any at all) Topping with lime slices and basil, also infuses extra flavor without adding calories. This isn't really a low-cal dish, just a LOWER calorie dish than the original. If you cannot find red curry paste look for asian chili paste and add equal amounts of that and powdered curry...it's not quite the same, but it'll do. (prep time does not include time to marinate)

RED THAI CURRY CHICKEN STIR-FRY
Not your typical soupy Thai curry. I "ad-libbed" this, just adding some red Thai curry paste to an otherwise typical stir-fry. It was hot, spicy and, for us, very yummy. I always use Mae Ploy brand curry paste - I find it the most authentic and flavoursome.

Steps:
- Heat your pan or pot, and spray lightly with olive oil.
- Remove excess fat and skin from chicken (don't be overly diligent - a little fat is useful in the cooking!) and cut into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
- Add chopped onion and hot chili pepper to the pre-heated pan; cook on high heat until onion is slightly soft (1 to 2 minutes).
- Add carrot, cut into thick Julienne strips.
- Add the curry paste, and stir-fry well.
- Add water to help dissolve and mix the curry paste. The heat from the pan will evaporate the water quickly, but it still loosens up the paste.
- Add the chicken and bell peppers (cut lengthwise).
- Stir frequently; make sure all the paste is dissolved. The oil from the chicken should help this, too.
- Add Thai fish sauce.
- When the meat is thoroughly cooked, remove from heat.
- Serve on a bed of Jasmin or Basmati rice, or other rice of your choice.

- Don't be afraid to adjust the heat. This chili can be made as mild or spicy as you like. If you like your chili hot, add more red curry paste or a chopped jalapeño pepper. If you prefer a milder chili, reduce the amount of red curry paste or omit the jalapeño pepper.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This chili is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Add whatever vegetables you have on hand, such as carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, or zucchini.
- Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. This chili is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, or a squeeze of lime.
