• Rice Noodle Cooking Directions:.
• Place all your rice noodles in a deep mixing bowl, trying to snap as few of them as possible as you remove them from the package (always a challenge for us). Bring a good amount of water to boil. Pour the boiling water over the rice noodles until they are completely submerged.
• Every minute or two, give the noodles a stir to loosen them up. When they are completely limp, give them a taste to see if they're cooked through. The thread-like vermicelli noodles used in spring rolls will cook through in just a few minutes. The flat rice noodles might take upwards of ten minutes depending on thickness. Pay attention and test the noodles frequently because they'll become mushy if they overcook.
• Once the noodles are tender, drain them and run them under cool water to stop the cooking. Toss them with a bit of sesame oil to keep the noodles from sticking to each other if you're not going to use them right away.
• Since these noodles will be used in the above dish, you definitely want to under-cook them a bit. They will absorb more moisture and cook the rest of the way through once in the stir fry. If your noodles are perfectly cooked to start, they will turn to mush in the stir fry.
• Note: This whole recipe can be cut in half including the rice noodles.

COCONUT CURRY SHRIMP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large, deep saute pan and add the onion. Cook on low heat until the onion is translucent, about 15 minutes. Add the curry powder and continue cooking on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring regularly as curry forms a paste. Add the lemon juice and stir.
• Add the tomatoes, cutting them up once they are in the pan. Add half the juice from the can and save the remainder. Continue cooking the tomatoes and onions another 15 minutes on low heat.
• Add 1/4 of the coconut milk and stir. Add enough coconut milk and the remaining tomato juice until you like the consistency of the curry base. Simmer this mixture for another 15 minutes.
• Bring the curry base to a boil and add the shrimp. Stir constantly for about 6-8 minutes to ensure the shrimp are fully cooked. Taste and add salt, if needed. Serve over white or brown rice.
