Recipes please! These meals sound delish.[/quote]

Unfortunately the Northern Thai Curry requires a special spice mix that my mom got in Thailand.

But for the stewed chicken:

saute a table spoon of red curry paste in a bit of oil
add chicken pieces (can be any part, though thighs taste best) and brown
add just enough water to surround the chicken and a little bit of fish sauce (maybe a teaspoon - you can always add more later)
add two stalks of lemon grass cut into 2 inch pieces and 3-4 kaffir lime leaves
simmer until chicken is done
add 1/2 cup cilantro and 1/2 cup scallions (chopped) and stir until wilted
add fish sauce to taste
serve over rice!

Green Curry:

saute a table spoon green curry paste in a bit of oil
add chicken pieces and a little fish sauce and brown (add a little water if it starts to smoke)
add diced Thai eggplants (or any Asian egg plant)
add enough water to just immerse the chicken and eggplant and simmer until chicken is done and eggplant is cooked but still firm
add 1 can unsweetened coconut milk and stir
add 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
add about 1/2 cup of whole Thai basil leaves
add 3-4 kaffir lime leaves
simmer until basil is wilted - about 5-10 minutes
add fish sauce to taste
serve over rice!

Sorry the recipes aren't very exact, these are family recipes that have never been written down so I adjust according to how things taste.  Having the right ingredients are very important.  I've been able to find most things at the Thai grocery in Silver Spring.[/quote]
