I want thai curry, tonight!

There are a number of things one does not attempt to cook. These things take way too long and involves reducing, puree-ing, condensing and about a list of ingredients you can't find in ONE supermarket. You know the culprits and you should let the professionals handle it when you can.
Peking duck, osso bucco, coq au vin, tamales...
And thai curry!

Alright, alright... Maybe thai curry isn't the hardest thing to make in the world. In fact, it's pretty easy if you can follow a 13 step by step process printed off About.com titled "How to Make Vegetarian Thai Curry". It's definitely not a hassle with today's search engine results (Always for Google! Never Bing!). But, it's complex flavors and layered ingredients make it a cooking project and less a quick, fix meal.

I had my best partner on board and tackled the two page print out and our asian goods. Enjoy the storyboard interpretation by Ms. Shivani.

Step 1: Chop up ingredients.












First time cooking with lemon grass! We are growing up Im telling you.

Step 2: Blend up the ingredients and then add it to the wok.












Step 3: Simmer the sauce and then add tofu, broccoli, snow peas and more essential thai basil.












Step 4: Serve and consume rapidly. This stuff does not last long. Watch those sneaky fingers.












Peking duck tomorrow night?
I'm sure we can take it.

what are the ingredients? I am not into broccoli, but otherwise that looks good.
