This dish gets a spicy kick from the curry paste. Look for it in the Asian section of your supermarket.

1 (10-ounce bag) frozen stir-fry vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, red bell peppers, water chestnuts and green beans

Fresh chopped cilantro
Lime wedges

I just saw this recipe, I hit the search engine and asked for healthy recipes? You've got to be kidding! 405 calories and 22g. of fat per serving? This is not a healthy recipe! Bummer!

Thanks for pointing this out. You're right. Our website is still in its infancy, and evolving, and not until you mentioned it, did we notice that we don't have a feasible mechanism for searching healthy recipes. So we just added a category for it. Soon, you can hit healthy under categories and pull up all our healthy recipes. Just give us some time to download them. In the meantime, the best way to find our healthy recipes is to go under Taste of America, then to Healthy Table and you'll see the stories that have run in that column. By the way, I'm a Registered Dietitian, so am very plugged into healthy food, which will almost always have a place in each issue. Thanks for your patience. Best, Jill
