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.
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!
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
