Steam the beans for about 10 minutes or until just barely tender. Do not overcook. Set aside. Coat a large skillet with the cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper, lemon grass, garlic and curry paste. Cook and stir until the mixture begins to stick. Add 2 Tablespoons water, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, 2 minutes, adding water as necessary. Stir in the onion and cook another 2 minutes. Add the coconut milk and 1/4 cup water. Simmer, covered, for 2-3 minutes. Add the green beans and stir well. Cook, covered, 4 minutes, stirring, until the beans are tender. Stir in the fish sauce and basil. 4-5 servings.
