• In a small pot, combine rice, 3⁄4 cup water (11⁄2 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Trim green beans if necessary; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Peel and grate or mince ginger. Zest and quarter lime. Finely chop cilantro. Rinse shrimp* under cold water. Pat shrimp or chicken* dry with paper towels. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp or chicken; cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat (use a large pan for 4 servings). Add bell pepper, green beans, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are slightly softened and lightly charred, 4-6 minutes. Use pan used for shrimp or chicken here.

• Add another large drizzle of oil to pan with veggies; stir in shallot, ginger, and half the curry powder (all for 4 servings). Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add coconut milk. (TIP: Thoroughly shake coconut milk in container before opening.) Stir in chili sauce, stock concentrate, juice from half the lime, and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4). Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low.

• Simmer curry until sauce has thickened and veggies are tender, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in half the cilantro. Taste and season with salt and more lime juice if desired. Turn off heat. Add shrimp or chicken along with half the cilantro.

• Roughly chop peanuts. • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in lime zest. • Divide rice between shallow bowls or plates and top with curry. Garnish with peanuts and remaining cilantro. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side. Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
