PREPARATION

MAKING THE STOCK

Follow the steps for recipe "Basic Asian Stock", which is in the dependent recipes section to the right.

MAKING THE SAUCE

In saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add curry paste and stir-fry until fragrant (about 2 minutes).

Add peanuts and stir, roasting them until two shades darker but not burnt (about 8 minutes).

Add sugar and continue to stir until the sugar is dissolved and starts to caramelize (about 1-2 minutes).

Add coconut milk, asian stock, tamarind, hoisin sauce, and fish sauce.

Reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, allowing the natural oils from the peanuts to surface (about 45 minutes).

Turn off heat and stir in mint leaves or cilantro. Serve at room temperature.
