Curried Green Beans

Ingredients:

1 lb fresh green beans (trimmed and cut in half)

1 finely sliced large onion

2 tablespoon Thai curry paste

4 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 1/2 cup shredded bamboo shoots

6 cups chicken broth

Method:

Heat oil in a in a dutch oven (or large pot). Add onions and stir for a minute. Add curry paste and stir until fragrant, for one more minute. Add broth, green beans, bamboo shoots. Bring to a rapid boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes (watching that liquid doesn't reduce too much; add water as necessary). Reduce heat to a hard simmer and continue cooking until green beans are done and have absorbed the flavor of the curry broth. Serve in bowls over rice.
