• In a small pot, combine rice, 3⁄4 cup water (1 1⁄2 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Trim green beans if necessary; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Peel and grate or mince ginger. Zest and quarter lime. Finely chop cilantro. **Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels, or open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp or chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.**

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat (use a large pan for 4 servings). Add bell pepper, green beans, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are slightly softened and lightly charred, 4-6 minutes. **Use pan used for shrimp or chicken here.**

• Add another large drizzle of oil to pan with veggies; stir in shallot, ginger, and half the curry powder (all for 4 servings). Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add coconut milk. (TIP: Thoroughly shake coconut milk in container before opening.) Stir in chili sauce, stock concentrate, juice from half the lime, and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4). Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low.

• Simmer curry until sauce has thickened and veggies are tender, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in half the cilantro. Taste and season with salt and more lime juice if desired. Turn off heat. **Add shrimp or chicken along with half the cilantro.**

• Roughly chop peanuts. • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest. • Divide rice between shallow bowls or plates and top with curry. Garnish with peanuts and remaining cilantro. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side. ***Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.***
