THE BEST THAI CURRY-PEANUT SAUCE

The Best Thai Curry-Peanut Sauce image

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!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 ¼ cups creamy peanut butter
¾ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 (13.5 ounce) cans coconut milk

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the aroma of the garlic has mellowed, about 1 minute. Add the red curry paste, and stir for 1 minute more. Whisk in the peanut butter, brown sugar, chili powder, cayenne pepper, fish sauce, sesame oil, and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and is smooth.
