ingredients
- 13 1⁄2 ounces coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 - 1 1⁄2 lb boneless skinless chicken, cut in 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 - 2 1⁄2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce (originally it was 1/4 cup but was halved to 2 Tbsp based on reviews)
- 3 1⁄2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1⁄2 cup finely chopped roasted peanuts
- 1 bunch spinach leaves
directions
- Add coconut and ginger to a medium saucepan, and stir until well blended. Cook it over medium heat and bring it to a boil.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the chicken, and heat for another 2 minutes.
- Arrange the spinach on plates.
- Spoon the chicken and peanut sauce over the spinach leaves,.
- Classic side dishes to accompany this dish are steamed white rice (calrose rice is especially fitting) and pad Thai noodles.

I did as others suggested and cut back a bit on the fish sauce, I found this too sweet and it was close-ish to the restaurant but it was off, I felt like the flavour was missing something. I'm not sure what, but it was definitely sweeter than our favourite restaurants swimming rama. I am going to continue my search.

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
