Like our other Thai recipes, this is toned down as we do have kids after all! LOL. My favorite is beef, seconded by chicken, but I have been known to use tofu and even pork to make this. I think beef is the best. Also, we buy our curry paste in a larger container, but they also sell it in small cans like a tuna can. If you use the small can, half it or be prepared for some heat. For this recipe I will just go by the way we make it, which is 3 tbsp of the curry paste out of the large container.
3tbsp Panang curry paste
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
2tbsp brown sugar
1lb beef, cubed or cut into thin strips (think fajitas style)
1 can coconut milk
1 can water
Heat large skillet on high, add in Panang curry paste and peanut butter. Whisk together until smooth. Add in coconut milk, beef, and brown sugar until mixed and let come to a boil stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium/low, add water, and simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
Serve over white or brown rice (we prefer brown rice).
We came up with this version to tone it down enough so the kids would eat it, and they really enjoy it. It has just enough kick to it to be fun for them without being too spicy for them to handle. Definitely not a 'traditional' version, but the tips to add brown sugar and peanut butter came from the owner of the Thai grocery store, and since he is from Thailand I figured I would listen to him, LOL.
