Bring rice and water to a boil in a pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 25 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together curry paste and coconut milk. Transfer to a wok, and mix in chicken, fish sauce, chili paste, sugar, and bamboo shoots. Bring to a boil, and cook until chicken juices run clear about 10 minutes.

We really liked this dish. I had to go out and get bamboo shoots but than that I actually had everything else on hand!! DW stated that we have to have this again and soon! Thanks for a great new dish. Made for Football Pool 2010.

Wow this was good. We loved it and it is easy to make too. I did have to make some substitutions though. In place of the chicken I baked tofu that I had marinated in soy sauce and sesame oil until crispy, I changed the veggies to what was in the fridge and left out the chili paste and fish sauce. I used homemade red curry paste too and forgot to add in the pineapple, but I think it would have added another level of flavour. My family loved this and there were no leftover. Thanks for the recipe.
