I changed my cooking method on this one to accommodate a busy schedule. Prepared sauce, cooked meat, and chopped veggies - then put everything in a slow cooker till the veggies were tender crisp. I honestly cannot remember how long it was on for though. This recipe for the ingredients makes a perfect Thai Red Curry. ~thanks!~
