This has been in the works for a while, but for some reason I just never got around to it. Anyway, here's a video on how to make a rather tasty dish that won't cost you all that much, is easy to make, and is pretty tasty. It won't take you all that long to make either.

This will feed 3 to 4 people.

What you need:

 - Two cups white rice (jasmine rice, if you're willing to pay extra for that. By the way, a quick rule of thumb if you are using a rice cooker: use 3 standard cups of water for every 2 cups of rice. That's always worked for me and that amount feeds 4 hungry people easily.)
 - 1 lbs chicken breast (you can also use tenderloin or thigh meat, though I find breast is the cheapest of those. You can also use shrimp, or for the vegetarians, tofu.)
 - about 2 table spoons of cooking oil (doesn't really matter which kind.)
 - 2 to 3 tablespoons of red curry paste. (you can find this at any decent grocery store. use 3 tablespoons if you like your food spicy.)
 - 1 can coconut milk.
 - 1 to 2 cups of frozen vegetables (doesn't really matter what kind)

optional:
 - 2 to 3 teaspoons of fish sauce
 - 1 teaspoon of brown sugar (you could get away with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar if you feel one teaspoon isn't enough.

 I tend to eyeball things when I cook, so these measurements are some what approximate. But if you follow them exactly you should do fine. Feel free to adjust as needed; good cooking always takes a certain amount of experimentation.
