Introduction
A delicious creamy and flavorful coconut milk curry. I made some changes to the original recipe...used part lite and part normal coconut milk, chicken instead of shrimp (says you can use in recipe), thin rice noodles instead of pad thai noodles, added bell pepper, freeze dried lemongrass instead of fresh, ginger and garlic purees from tubes instead of fresh and increased amounts of these (used Gourmet Garden Brand). I also used reduced sodium soy sauce instead of regular and increased the amount of red curry paste, ginger, lemongrass, and garlic (because I used processed versions and thought it needed it to balance the heavier coconut milk). The nutrition calculation is from these modifications. Original ingredients before substitutions are noted in parentheses.Original recipe before my changes: http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/148802/thai

Tips
You may be able to reduce prep time to less than 50 min, but this is what it took me the first time. The orignal recipe said 20 minute prep time.
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rice noodles and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water to stop the cooking; set aside.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, lemon grass, and ginger; cook and stir until aromatic, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the curry paste, and cook 30 seconds more. Pour in about 1/2 cup of the chicken broth, and stir until the curry paste has dissolved. Taste to see if balance of spices and flavors is correct. Then pour in the remaining chicken stock along with the soy sauce and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer 20 minutes. Chop up chicken breast into small pieces, about 3/4" by 3/4".
Stir in coconut milk, chicken, spinach, lime juice, and cilantro (or save cilantro for garnish). Increase heat to medium-high, and simmer until the chicken is white and no longer translucent, about 3 minutes. Add bell pepper, then simmer for another two minutes. Don't over cook, especially for the spinach.
To serve, place some rice noodles into each serving bowl and ladle soup on top of them. Garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of sliced green onion.
