THAI CASHEW COCONUT RICE WITH GINGER PEANUT SAUCE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Rinse the dry rice well until the water runs clear. In a medium-sized pot, mix together the rice, coconut milk, garlic, salt, and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Once the pot reaches a rolling boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn off heat and let sit (with lid on) for an additional 10 minutes. As you wait for the rice, make the peanut sauce. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 15 seconds, or until the peanut butter thins. Stir well. Add the ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir again. Thin as desired with water. Fluff the rice and combine it with the chopped vegetables and cashews (I reserve a few whole cashews to garnish with, but it's not necessary). Drizzle with a bit of the Ginger Peanut Sauce and taste-- you most likely will not need to use all of it. Serve with lime wedges.

GRILLED COCONUT-LIME CHICKEN WITH PEANUT SAUCE (CHICKEN SATAY)

Steps:

• Marinate the meat pieces for 1-2 days in the fridge. I like to use all thigh meat (because it's juicier and more flavourful) that has been boned and skinned so it's really easy to just put it right into the marinade with no prep. Once ready to cook, preheat your grill. Once hot, scrape off any crud, and oil well. Remove each thigh and cut in half lengthwise. Skewer as many strips you can fit on your skewers (I did 3). Grill until just done on medium-high heat. During the last couple minutes of grilling, sprinkle the chicken with just a little bit of garam masala (recipe below) or the curry spice mixture if you prefer. Once all the chicken is done, place on a large platter, and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro. Serve with the peanut sauce to dip. Peanut sauce: You can make this a few days in advance, or while the chicken is grilling. Mix all ingredients together with a fork and then a whisk until well blended. The liquids are in variable measure because depending on what kind of peanut butter you use, how oily it is, and/or whether you grind your peanuts freshly, the amount you'll need to add in will change. If using peanuts instead of peanut butter, blend 3/4 of your peanuts in a food processor until it turns to peanut butter. Add the remainder of the crushed peanuts, and pulse a few times to mix them in, but retain the crunchy texture. Also depending on how limey and spicy you want it, change the amounts of lime juice and sriracha accordingly. For the spices: Toast the whole spices in a small, DRY sauté pan over low heat until fragrant and warm, you should be able to just smell the spices, but be very careful not to burn them. Grind them in a coffee grinder you dedicate solely to grinding spices. Add in any pre-ground spices and grind to mix in.

COCONUT PEANUT SAUCE SLICED STEAK (LONDON BROIL)

Steps:

• Pre-heat grill on high. Rub olive oil over steak and season with kosher salt generously and pepper. Set aside. When grill is ready, grill each side for 5 minutes. With london broil you do not want to cook it over 5 minutes on each side because the steak will toughen. If you prefer a medium or well done steak, I suggest using flank. Remove steak from grill and allow to rest on a plate covered with foil.
• To make coconut peanut sauce, add coconut milk, brown sugar, curry powder, lime juice, and peanut butter to the sauce pan. Cook on medium heat, continuously stirring until all of the ingredients have completely come together. Turn off heat.
• Cut steak into thin slices across the grain and arrange beef on a large platter. Pour coconut peanut sauce on top of the slices and garnish with optional toasted coconut and green onions. Serve over steamed rice. Enjoy!
