      1 tb Thai red curry paste
      2 tb Fish sauce

      9    Fresh basil leaves
    1/2 c  Chicken stock
      2 tb Peanut oil

  *....with apologies to the late Colonel!

  Soak the noodles in very hot water, then drain and keep
  moist. Weight the tofu and when mostly dry, cut into 1
  inch by 2 inch pieces. Shred carrot, bamboo shoots, spring
  onions, gai lan(or spinach) and set aside. Prepare
  peppers. Mix the curry paste, fish sauce, peanut butter
  and 1/4 cup of chicken stock, and then add the peppers to
  this. Set the shredded basil leaves to one side, and make
  sure you have everything ready to go, because you must fly
  with this, when the wok is ready, so heat the wok on high,
  and when a drop of water sizzles, go for it! Put the oil
  in the hot wok, throw in the prawns, stir fry until just
  pink, and remove them. Add the curry paste mixture and
  stir fry this for no longer than a minute, then throw in
  the vegetables, and then the tofu...stir fry this
  carefully, maintaining high heat, put the reserved prawns
  back in, check for liquidity, and add the rest of the
  stock, if needed, and the reserved noodles. Carefully mix
  all together, and serve with Thai rice, placing the basil
  shreds over the dish. This looks complicated but it really
  isn't, once you get everything together. Preparing takes
  most of the time....

  Should serve two with left overs (maybe)

  Cheers, Doug in BC
