Categories: To try, Thai, Easy
     Yield: 2 Servings

     4 oz Pea Pods (about 2 1/2 cup)
     4 oz Baby cut carrots
   1/2 c  To
   5/8 c  Coconut milk as needed
          NOTE try coconut powder/
          evaporated milk
     2 tb Green curry paste
          Recommended Maesri brand
     6 oz Fresh egg linguae
          NOTE try plain lingerie
          Or Thai noodles
   3/4 lb Boneless chicken breast
     1 tb Sugar
   1/4 ts Salt
     5 ea Fresh basil leaves

 Bring large pot lightly salted water to a boil over high heat.

 String pea pods and cut carrots lengthwise into quarters combine in
 bowl.

 Cut the chicken breast halves crosswise into very thin, almost
 translucent slices.

 Heat 1/2 cup coconut milk over medium heat in a large skillet.  When
 it begins to bubble, add the green curry paste, stirring to combine.
 Let mixture cook for a few minutes to darken in color.

 Add the pasta to the boiling water, keep an attentive eye on it so id
 does not boil over.

 When the curry mixture becomes fragrant, add the chicken to the
 skillet and stir to coat evenly

 Increase the heat to medium high, add 1/2 cup coconut milk, sugar,
 salt to taste and the the vegetables, stirring to combine and coat
 the vegetables and chicken evenly

 Cover and cook for 10 minutes, the sauce will bubble at the edges and
 the chicken should be cooked through.

 While curry is cooking, drain the pasta in a large colander and rinse
 under cool running water.

 Divide the pasta among individual plates or bowls, making low mounds.

 Uncover and taste the curry - if it is too spicy add up to 1/4 cup more
 of coconut mil, stirring to combine and heat  through.

 Just before serving add most of the basil leaves, stirring just until
 slightly wilted.

 Arrange vegetables on the pasta, then chicken in the center.

 If desired, or just divide the curry- vegetables on top of the pasta.

 Garnish with remaining basil leaves and serve immediately.
