oh yeah, cook your rice any time during the day (if you're planning on this for dinner) or a day ahead--when i'm super organized i like to have cooked rice at all times in the fridge because it's like half the meal pre-made.

also, you don't need to add any sugar when making this, i never have and for ease, use pre-made green curry paste found in most grocery stores, and kaffir lime leaves aren't required but DO load this up with bunches of basil, you won't be disappointed, i julienne the basil and add 3 times as much as any recipe. yum--even if you can't get 'thai basil' any fresh basil will do. and not a lot of (western) 'green curry thai' is made with potato, you can substitute bamboo shoots, slivered carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, eggplant or a mixture of all of the above.

THIS looks amazing. I want to eat the screen!



Ok, so how do I buy curry? Is this a SPICE that comes in a jar or is it a loose leaf thing? Pardon my ignorance but growing up in Arkansas, my introduction to spices included "Mrs. Dash", "Grease", and Salt.
