THAI NOODLE DELIGHT WITH SWEET-SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
This recipe is absolutely delicious and a great choice when you want something that breaks out of the typical daily grind of typical Western meals without any need for specialty tools or exotic techniques. It does call for a couple of slightly exotic ingredients, but you can't cook even thoroughly Americanized Thai without something of that nature.

Steps:
- Disolve 1/8 cup salt and 1/4 cup sugar in 1 quart of water in a glass or plastic container. Cut your meat into bite-sized pieces, place in the brine, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. (Pork should be trimmed of silverskin and de-boned. We like using boneless country-style ribs.) (Chicken should be boneless-skinless breast or thigh meat.).
- Drain meat and allow to dry on paper towels.
- In a large pan, bring plenty of salted water to boiling. Add noodles and cook according to directions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sambal oolek, and sweet chile sauce until smooth. Warm in heavy bottomed pan on stove, but do not cook! Heat to no more than steaming or the sauce might break. (In my personal experience, this sauce doesn't hold well for much more than 20 minutes. It's best to finish and serve immediately.).
- In a wok or large, heavy skillet, heat 1 Tbls oil on medium-high (or if you're confident with stir-fry, high) heat until the oil just starts to smoke. Immediately add your meat, stirring constantly, until the meat is almost done. Add the garlic and continue cooking about a minute. Remove the meat from the pan and allow to drain.
- Add the other 1 Tbls oil to the wok and add the veggies in the following order: red onion, carrot (optional), celery, broccoli, snow peas, red bell pepper (optional), scallion (also optional). If you like, you can add other favorite Asian-style vegetables such as water chestnuts or bamboo shoots, but I would avoid mushrooms. Stir very frequently, waiting 30 seconds (for the more tender veggies) to 2 minutes (for the firmer bits) between additions. Just before the veggies are ready to be served, add the meat and stir for just long enough to reheat thoroughly.
- Serve by putting the meat & veggie mix over the noodles and top with a healthy spooning of peanut sauce. Serve hot.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, place the water and sugar and bring to the boil.
- Add the salt and chopped peanuts and leave to cool.
- Add the coriander.
Tips:
- Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter will give your sauce a smooth and velvety texture. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can blend it until smooth in a food processor or blender.
- Add a little heat: If you like your sauce with a bit of a kick, add a teaspoon or two of cayenne pepper or Sriracha sauce. You can also add some grated ginger or lemongrass for a more complex flavor.
- Balance the flavors: The key to a good sweet peanut sauce is to find the right balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors. Use a combination of brown sugar, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to achieve this balance.
- Adjust the consistency: If your sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little water or chicken broth. If your sauce is too thin, you can thicken it up by adding a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water, mixed together until smooth).
- Serve with your favorite dishes: Sweet peanut sauce is a great addition to many Asian dishes, such as stir-fries, noodle bowls, and satay. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables, spring rolls, or chicken wings.
Conclusion:
Sweet peanut sauce is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a new sauce to try, give sweet peanut sauce a try!
