I recently started eating meat again. My main reason is for convenience. I just got so tired of making two meals all the time. I made this Malaysian dish for dinner yesterday and it was quite delicious.

Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breast cubed
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil (I use grape seed oil)
• 2 green onions sliced (separate the green section from white section)
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup mung bean sprouts
• 1 red pepper thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 2 teaspoons red curry paste ( if you can find laksa paste use that and follow the directions for the amount. I always used red curry paste in the States when I made this, but I can get laksa paste in the grocery store here.)
• 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
• 1 can coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 3 1/2 oz (100 g) rice noodles
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro coarsely chopped

Prepare your rice noodles according to the instructions on the package. Heat oil in a pot. Add white part of the green onions and saute for a minute. Add garlic, turmeric, and red curry paste (laksa paste) and saute for another minute. Now add stock, coconut milk, sugar and fish sauce. Bring it to a boil and then turn down the heat and let simmer for 5 minutes. Add chicken, bean sprouts and sliced red pepper and let simmer for a couple more minutes. Add rice noodles and let simmer for 2 minutes. Add lemon juice, green parts of the green onion, and cilantro and remove from heat.
