THAI PRA RAM CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat wok or large non-stick skillet to medium heat and add 1/2 cup water. Add chicken and sprinkle with salt. Stir thoroughly until chicken is cooked and water is almost dried.
• Meanwhile, in medium sized pot combine sugar, peanut butter, soy sauce, water, cooking oil, and garlic. Do not add coconut milk yet. Heat over medium heat until bubbling, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to medium low. Once peanut butter and sugar has melted completely, slowly add cocnut milk, stirring until dark sauce has become caramel colored. Let sauce simmer over low heat to thicken.
• Steam cook spinach leaves AND/OR follow cooking instructions on stirfry veggies package. Instead of adding the sauce that comes with the veggies, add enough prepared peanut sauce to coat veggies and cook together about 5 minutes.
• Drain chicken, place it back into skillet, and add prepared peanut sauce to coat over medium heat.
• To serve: Make a bed of white rice, then a bed of spinach. Add stirfry, then chicken. Top each serving with leftover peanut sauce and enjoy!

CHICKEN RAMA IN THAI PEANUT SAUCE

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.
