Panang Curry
When we lived in Japan, I met a wonderful Thai woman. She was married to an American, but would frequently travel to Thailand, not only to visit family, but to take classes. She wanted to become a chef of classic Thai cuisine. This is one of the dishes she taught me, with a few variations. The classic recipe would require you to make your own curry base, but using a store-bought paste is a great substitute for a quick meal.
