2 cups water
1 cup mushrooms-optional
2 cups bamboo shoots
8 oz. sirloin, sliced thinly into bite sized strips
1 large sweet potato or 2 cups dense squash like Japanese pumpkin, cubed and steamed beforehand
Preparation:
In a large pot over low to medium heat, add in the chili paste and stir for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add in the coconut milk and stir until paste is fully combined.
Add in the rest of the ingredients except the cooked potatoes, cooked squash or any other vegetable you are using that may get too mushy if cooked for too long.
Cook until all the vegetables and meat are cooked/heated through and serve hot over rice.
