Praram Long Song (Thai peanut curry sauce)

This is one of my favorite Thai dishes to cook. It's simple to make, and the sauce is also great for dipping or stir-fry. 


Ingredients:
1 can of coconut milk
~3+ tbsp red curry paste 
1/2 to 1 tsp fish sauce, depending on your taste
1/2 c. natural unsweetened peanut butter
4 tbsp brown sugar and/or agave nectar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp lime juice
red pepper flakes
Sriracha. Duh.
Green onion
Crushed peanuts
A bunch of baby spinach
Brown rice
A protein, if desired (I usually use pan-fried tofu or scallops. Chicken is mighty tasty too)

Now do it:
Heat coconut milk in a small pot over medium-low heat, stirring to make sure it doesn't stick. Once warm, add curry paste and stir until thoroughly blended. Add peanut butter and other things, pepper/sriracha to taste. Add your protein and let it soak up the sauce for a few. Wilt the spinach just a little bit, and place a bed of it on rice. Cover with this delicious sauce, and top with crushed peanuts and minced green onion.

  1. I made this for dinner last night and my daughter said it tasted like we got Thai take-out! It was so darn delicious. I sautéed tofu, carrots, broccoli, and bok choy, heaped that over basmati rice and smothered it in this sauce. Then added srirachi and crushed peanuts. It was a hit!

  2. This is a monthly staple at our house. It is one of the few meals that my picky husband and four year old can agree on! Thank you!
