Steps:
- In a bowl, toss the pork or chicken with fish sauce, water and oil. Add cornstarch and toss well to mix; let marinate for at least 20 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed into the meat.
- Reduce ½ cup coconut milk in a pot over medium heat until very thick.
- Add curry paste and stir to break it apart. If you have a hard time getting the curry paste clumps to loosen, you can add a splash of coconut milk to help it along. Keep stirring until coconut oil starts separating away from the paste and the paste is sizzling.
- Add the remaining coconut milk, fish sauce, palm sugar and tamarind and bring it to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, place the peanuts and sesame seeds into a food processor and blitz until they turn into a coarse meal. You can also pound them in a mortar and pestle.
- Stir the peanut mixture into the sauce and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes to allow the flavours to fully develop.
- Once the sauce is done simmering, you can add more water if the sauce is too thick. It should be rich but can still pour easily without being gloppy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

CHICKEN WITH PEANUT SAUCE (SWIMMING RAMA) - OAMC
This comes from a oamc book called "Fix, Freeze, Feast" and is really delicious! Its one of my favorite Thai type dishes and I usually serve it on top of fresh spinach leaves (for me) and on steamed rice (for DH & kiddos) . This is meant as a OAMC dish so it uses a large package of chicken such as you would purchase at a warehouse store. This makes 3 entrees and each entree serves 4-6 people.

Tips:
- Choose the right noodles: Wide, flat noodles like ramen or udon are best for Rama. They hold the sauce well and are easy to eat with chopsticks.
- Prep your vegetables in advance: This will save you time when you're assembling the dish. Cut your vegetables into thin slices or matchsticks so that they cook quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, be sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of fry and they won't be as flavorful.
- Use a high-quality peanut sauce: The peanut sauce is one of the most important components of Rama. Be sure to use a sauce that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. You can find good peanut sauces at most Asian grocery stores or online.
- Serve Rama immediately: Rama is best served fresh out of the pan. If you let it sit for too long, the noodles will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy.
Conclusion:
Rama is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its combination of fresh vegetables, savory peanut sauce, and chewy noodles, Rama is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give Rama a try!
