Much to my dismay, I missed out on making the pineapple curry because I had to go home and lock up the chickens for the night.
When I came back, the class had finished preparing the recipe. Somehow, there is some irony there, especially since the curry had ... chicken.
We made this curry, along with spring rolls, on Tuesday night at Maun’s class. You’ll remember Maun from another post about her and her wonderful cuisine of Indochina. On Tuesday, she taught a group how to make a couple of those dishes.
Everything Maun makes uses fresh ingredients. She explained that some are only available at Asian stores, like the Asia Pacific Market in east Colorado Springs. We used red curry paste, rice spring roll wrappers and one ingredient that no one could write down because it was only labeled in Chinese. She also brought a variety of fresh herbs, sprouts and rice noodles for the spring rolls.
I can’t wait to get to the store and try making them at home. Homemade spring rolls are my new favorite food.
We chopped, cooked, ate and laughed. Everyone went home with new knowledge and full stomachs. Maun plans to offer another class in the next few months. Keep an eye on the website if you’d like to join us.
