THE BEST THAI CURRY-PEANUT SAUCE
I received a basic thai peanut sauce recipe from a very kind friend back in Oregon who worked at a popular Thai restaurant there and modified it with my own taste. Made this a lot of times and always got rave reviews, try it and you won't regret it!

SPICY THAI PEANUT CHICKEN CURRY
This is a spicy dish, but the heat can be adjusted by reducing the curry and sambal oelek. It is quick and easy and it is so good. Time to cook rice is not included in prep time or cook time. Also...I often use lite coconut milk, it reduces the fat content and is still wonderful, just a little less rich.

Steps:
- In a medium saute pan saute peanut oil, red curry and sambal over med. heat for a few minutes.
- Add the chicken and cook through.
- Add coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar and peanut butter.
- Simmer about 10 minutes.

- Tip: If you are worried about the heat, just add half of the curry and sambal in the first step. Try it after everything has been added and if it's not spicy enough you can then add more curry. If then you want it more spicy you can add more sambal, the sambal is more spicy than the curry.

SPICY THAI PEANUT VEGETABLE CURRY
This is an easy & healthy dish that you can TaylorMake to whatever you like - you can add just about any sliced vegetable to this dish. I made this version completely vegetarian (actually vegan) but it would be delicious with grilled shrimp, sliced chicken, or beef. Serve with brown rice, jasmine rice or any type of noodle. Rice Noodle, Mung Bean (which are gluten free), soba noodles, ramen (w/out the seasoning packet), I have even used regular pasta when I was in a pinch - use whatever you have on hand.
