#91 beef and eggplant red curry

1 can coconut milk (don't shake it!)
2 tbsp red curry paste
3/4 lb beef, cut thin
2 tbsp fish sauce
1.5 tbsp brown sugar
2 limes (next time I'd use only 1)
1/2 large eggplant (diced)
1 can bamboo shoots
2 tbsp basil (shredded)

With a spoon take the top layer of coconut milk out of the can (about 1 cup), it will be thick and very white. Cook this for ~10 mins until the oil separates from the cream. Add curry paste and cook ~5 mins until fragrant. Add beef and cook until brown. Add remaining coconut milk from can, fish sauce, sugar, juice of limes and eggplant. Cook ~10 mins until eggplant is tender. Add bamboo shoots and stir in basil. Serve over rice.
