Directions
Prepare the needed amount of jasmine rice as directed on package.
In a medium-sized pot (3.5 quarts or larger), whisk together the curry paste, coconut milk and vegetable stock till all the paste and liquid are smooth and well incorporated.
On medium-high heat, bring this to a gentle boil and bubble for 3 to 4 minutes before adding the fish cubes.
Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until the fish cubes are cooked through.
Add the sliced bell peppers, bamboo shoots and a bit of salt and pepper to the pot. Stir well and simmer on low heat uncovered for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the fresh green onions, cilantro and chili slices, if using, to the pot, stir well and cook for 1 minute.
Turn off the heat and serve immediately in deep bowls with the steamed jasmine rice. Enjoy.
