Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

13 1/2 oz coconut milk
1 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken, cut in 1/2-inch pieces
2 to 3 tsp creamy peanut butter
1 Tbsp red curry paste
1/8 cup fish sauce
3 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped roasted peanuts
1 bunch fresh spinach leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Add coconut and ginger to a medium saucepan, and stir until well blended. Cook it over medium heat and bring it to a boil.
  • 2. Add the chicken pieces to the saucepan. Reduce the heat and let it simmer 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (i.e., no pink remains).
  • 3. With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and transfer to a bowl; cover and set aside. If any coconut milk accumulates at the bottom of the bowl, just pour it back into the saucepan.
  • 4. To the saved coconut milk, add the peanut butter, red curry paste, fish sauce, brown sugar, and chopped peanuts. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes or until the sauce is creamy and not grainy in appearance.
  • 5. Add the chicken to the saucepan and heat for another 2 minutes.
  • 6. Arrange the fresh spinach on individual plates. Spoon the chicken and peanut sauce over the spinach leaves, and serve immediately while still warm.
  • 7. Serving suggestion: Classic side dishes to accompany this dish are steamed white rice and Pad Thai noodles.
