AUTHENTIC PANANG CURRY WITH WHITE RICE
Spicy Panang Curry is a popular Thai restaurant staple. My favorite is a simplified version made with plain vegetables, but chicken, beef or pork may be added. Add steamed white rice and you have a complete meal. Watch out! This dish tends to be spicy! Note to squeamish: Use a little less curry paste and add a bit more coconut milk to temper the hot!
