Awesome Noodles

Yeah I finally found the Thai Curry Paste that I have been searching for. I found it at Auto Mercado, and it wasn't even too expensive. Only one thousand colones, or less than two dollars. Good deal for anything here. Since I finally found it I could make these awesome noodles. I used spinach fettuccini and it was really good.

1 lb. green beans chopped into 2-3"
12 oz. boned skinned chicken (I used thighs, but you can use breasts)
8-9 oz. fettuccini
1 can (14 oz.) coconut milk
1 TBLS. Thai red curry paste
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp rice vinegar
Fresh basil or cilantro leaves for a garnish

Bring a big pot of water to boil and throw in the fettucini and chopped green beans.
Cook 3-5 minutes covered until done. Pour into colander, rinse and drain.
Rinse pan and put back on heat. Stir in 1/4 C. coconut milk, and curry paste. Add chicken, stir until done about 5 minutes. Mix in remaining coconut milk, 1/4 cup water, sugar, vinegar.
Add noodles and green beans to pan and mix until the noodles are hot about 3-5 minutes.
Pour into bowls and sprinkle with fresh leaves.

Even my teenager liked this and she does not like curry!

WHAT'S FOR DINNER?

This recipe sounded good to me so it is for dinner. I think I have mentioned before, but it bears mentioning again, how absolutely wonderful the chicken is in Costa Rica. We have some clients that own a chicken farm in Georgia and say the chicken here is better than even theirs!
