Trader Joe’s in Richmond means Super easy, really tasty, chicken curry
So it seems Trader Joe’s is opening a store in Richmond (Short Pump, I think). Believe me when I say, that this is good news for any one in Richmond! You will now be able to go to TJ’s and purchase all the ingredients to make one of my favorite quick dinners:
What you need:
- Chicken Breasts, sliced into strips
- Some green pepper, sliced
- Can of sliced bamboo shoots
- Trader Joe’s Red Thai Curry Sauce
- Optionally, some chopped up garlic
That’s it. Just stir fry the chicken in a Wok or other such skillet with some peanut oil (or oil of your choice, and I like to season the oil with garlic prior to adding the chicken). Stir fry the Veggies, put the chicken back in (if you ever took it out!) , pour the sauce over it, and let it heat through. In the mean time, I hope, you’ve been cooking some rice. I also hope you’ve gotten the water content just right, and have a neat-o rice scoop so you can get that perfect restaurant looking ball of sticky rice to serve with it.
Enjoy! I’ve become a recipe blog, I guess. I had to add a new category for it! I have about as much topic focus as I have readers around here, it seems.

What’s trader joe’s? Just like a big international grocer’s? ‘Cause I’ve been saying we need a good international grocer for well on 5 years now. It seriously is no fun having to hit 3 different stores to make a meal.
