Another good weekday meal, cooked in advance....  this was a thai curry.  A couple weeks ago, I fried some NIttiya red curry paste (the best prepackaged curry paste I can find) in a little virgin coconut oil until very fragrant, and slightly darker in color.  Then added frozen coconut milk (thawed) and simmered for about 5-10 minutes, adding a little palm sugar and about half of the fish sauce I normally would.  This was then poured into a ziplock bag with 4 skinless chicken thighs and cooked at 150F for about 3 hours... then chilled and refrigerated, until tonight.  Popped the bag into a 135F bath while the rice was cooking.... about 30 minutes later, the chicken was removed from the bag, and the curry was added to a saucepot for a final seasoning... a little more fish sauce, and lime juice.  Came out really well - the chicken juices integrated into the coconut milk curry, and the chicken was juicy, tender, and full of flavor.  The curry sauce itself had a great mouthfeel, and the flavor was spot on.
