1. Cook rice according to package instructions.

2. Cook chicken in a Tbsp of oil until just cooked through.

4. Add the squash, remaining coconut milk, stock, fish sauce, and sugar, simmering until squash begins to soften (6-8 minutes). Be careful not to overcook the squash or it’ll turn to mush.

Pastabos

Different brands of curry pastes have different amounts of heat and different amounts of salt, so it’s important to taste and adjust.

From Rachel: 1 can of coconut milk is just under 2 cups. So to use all of it I add extra squash, peppers, and curry paste.
