Celiac.com 02/12/2014 - This green curry is one of my favorite Thai-style meals to cook at home. It is easy to make, and delicious. It can be served over rice or gluten-free noodles, and you can include whatever vegetables you like or have on hand. You can also add any kind of meat or tofu you desire, as you are cooking the vegetables.

Directions:
Prepare rice.
Heat oil in a wok or deep frying pan over high heat.
Add eggplant and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until golden. Set eggplant aside.
Add paste to wok and stir briefly.
Add green beans, carrots, onion, bell pepper, and stir-fry, tossing to ensure paste doesn't burn, for 1-2 minutes until lightly seared.
Add coconut cream, chicken stock, lime leaves and corn and bring to the boil.
Return eggplant to pan, then reduce heat to low and simmer for a further 5 minutes until chicken is cooked and corn is just tender.
Stir in fish sauce, lime juice and sugar and heat through for 1 minute.
