Orange Beef “Fried Rice” Casserole
Thai Seafood Curry
By :Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough |

Thai curry is a spicy hodgepodge, made with coconut milk and lots of fresh vegetables, best served over short-grain white rice or white or brown rice noodles. One warning: the fish or shellfish will get done at varying times, a little difficult to note exactly in a road map recipe. If you see that the fish bits are done but the shrimp aren’t quite pink yet, turn off the SAUTE function and set the lid askew over the pot for a couple of minutes so that the shrimp (in this case) cook in the residual heat. As a general rule, avoid oily fish (like salmon or trout) or thing, white –fleshed fish fillets (like sole, tilapia, or fluke).
