Thai Chicken Curry
1 14-ounce can “lite” coconut milk
3 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tsp curry powder
1 tbs minced ginger (fresh is better, bottled is fine)
2 tbs chili-garlic sauce
1 package chicken tenders from the meat case, cut into chunks (packages are usually just under a pound - or use regular chicken breasts and cut into chunks)
1 red pepper, de-seeded and chopped
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 large carrot, chopped (I'm lazy, i use a handful of the preshredded carrots)
1 celery stalk, chopped
2 bunches scallions, chopped into 1-inch pieces
2-3 baby bok choy, chopped (or one big one- napa cabbage works well too - I like it for "filler" because there's not a lot of meat in it
you could also add broccoli or any other vegetables that you like

- Place coconut milk in a big pot. Add soy sauce, sugar, curry powder, ginger and chili-garlic sauce, and stir.
- Gradually bring to a boil over a medium heat.
(By the way this sauce as is- makes a faboulous sauce for chicken or turkey meatballs -I call it Thai Swedish Meatballs and serve them for parties - Last time imade them for the work christmas party- the two teenage sons ofmy company president parked by the bowl and ate them all) - Add chicken pieces, red pepper, mushrooms, carrots, celery and scallions.
- Cover and cook for about 10 -15 minutes.
- Stir in bok choy and simmer for 5 minutes more.
- Serve over Jasmine rice or whole grain rice, with sauce (I think it's plenty good without the rice too... i'll have a pita bread to soak up the sauce)
