    Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.

  2. 2

    Dice the potato into small chunks.

  3. 3

    Heat a splash of the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat, add the curry paste and fry for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the potato and stir to coat, then pour in the remaining coconut milk.

  5. 5

    Simmer for 10–12 minutes until the potato is tender, then add the beef and simmer for 2 minutes until just cooked.

  6. 6

    Stir in the fish sauce, taste and adjust seasoning, then serve over the rice scattered with crushed peanuts.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 150 g beef frying strips and 200 ml coconut milk. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
