A wonderful recipe from Cooking Light. A delicious way to use ground beef. You can make it spicier by using more red curry paste.

1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon asian fish sauce
3 cups hot cooked short-grain white rice

Directions

1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
2
Add leek; sauté 5 minutes.
3
Add garlic; sauté 1 minute.

Made as per recipe.. but used 2tsp curry paste and palm instead of brown sugar. I'm vege so can't personally comment, but partner didn't like it, said waaaaay too much tomato for a thai dish; not particularly bland, but something not quite right. BUT my 4 year old ate the whole lot (lunch dinner and lunch again the next day). Will make again and portion freeze for quick kids meals.

Pretty good--seemed like it was missing something? ginger? My DH informed me that he does not care for coconut milk, otherwise I'd make this again and put my own flavors in.

Out.........STANDING! I halved the recipe, substituted soy sauce for fish sauce, and used tigerduck's Red Curry Paste Red Curry Paste (another winner) and after it came together smoothly, we were rewarded with one of the most delicious dishes we ever ate! Served over rice and alongside Skipper/Sy's Stuffed Grape Leaves with Egg-Lemon Sauce by Sy Stuffed Grape Leaves With Egg-Lemon Sauce by Sy. This is going into my Encore cookbook, the one I reserve for the Best of the Best. Thank you so much for posting, Redsie! UPDATE: I just made this for the third time. It's official: My favorite ground beef recipe EVER. What an amazing dish. I feel like I owe you my first born or something.!

I also made this from my Cooking Light magazine. I substituted extra lean ground turkey and served it inside butter lettuce cups with a side of steamed rice. I can honestly say I didn't expect to like it much, but it was amazing. It is definitely becoming a staple in my house.
