Best Easy Thai Peanut Stir Fry Recipes

EASY THAI CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk soy sauce and brown sugar together until dissolved then add gradually to peanut butter; stir until smooth; stir in ginger, sesame oil, chili oil, and rice vinegar; blend well.
• FYI: At this point the thick peanut sauce makes a great dipping sauce!
• Stir chicken broth into peanut sauce; cook in microwave oven about 45 seconds or just until bubbly around edges; stir and set aside.
• Bring a large saucepan containing 5-6 cups water to a boil; remove pan from heat and add rice noodles; soak noodles in hot water for 3-5 minutes until they are cooked but still al denté firm; rinse noodles under cold water; drain and set aside; if your noodles are very long you may want to chop them into a more manageable length.
• Meanwhile, peel carrots then slice them with a diagonal cut into pieces about 1/8" thick and 2" long; par boil or steam carrots slices together with frozen broccoli cuts for about 3 minutes or until carrots are barely crisp-tender and broccoli is no longer frozen; remove from heat and rinse under cold water; trim down any oversized pieces of broccoli; set aside.
• Add peanut oil and sesame oil to a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat; heat until oil is almost smoking; add chicken to skillet and sauté 1 1/2 minutes or until the chicken is not quite done; add mushrooms, carrots, and broccoli to skillet; sauté another 1 1/2 minutes; add peanut sauce and toss about 30 seconds until chicken and veggies are evenly coated with sauce; add rice noodles; cook and toss for 1 minute until heated through.
• Turn onto serving plate(s) and serve immediately garnished with sliced green onions and chopped peanuts.

EASY THAI PEANUT STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat a little oil in a wok. Stir fry onions, garlic and ginger for a couple of minutes, until onions are soft. Add carrots, cook another 2-3 minutes, then mushrooms, cabbage last (it only takes a couple of minutes to soften slightly). Sprinkle on the vegan sugar, stir to dissolve. Add the peanut butter and rapidly stir around the wok to dissolve and spread evenly. garnish with scallions, serve plain or over brown rice or rice noodles. Tofu would raise the protein level, but the peanut butter should be enough. I dont know how many this serves because it made a wok-full of food that never quite made it to the dinner table -everyone kept helping themselves right from the wok! Should serve about 6 if served over rice. What makes this so convenient is using pre-cut veggies. But fresh ginger is what makes this so outrageous. More is better than less!
