And how I became a Thai food “expert”? As always the process was easy… I found the recipe in the internet I think the link was on The Kitchn as usual 😉 This time I almost made it to the T, just added a little water cos it seemed a little too thick and I worried that the broccoli won’t get soft. Was it easy? YES!! Did it take a lot of time? Yes, but only because I’m clumsy. It took me several minutes to cut everything and change humongous broccoli FLORET into tiny little florets 😀
Ah and Madzia? 😉 your hatred towards peanut butter should evaporate 😉 it added spectacular flavour to the chicken. I can’t emphasize how good this recipe is. Easy and abso – f-lutely fantastic!
Amazing Peanut Butter Chicken
Ingredients:
2 1/3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 2/3 teaspoons white wine vinegar or 1 2/3 teaspoons rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 1/3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon garlic
1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger root
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 1/3 cups broccoli florets
1/3 green pepper,
1/3 red pepper
1/8 cup dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
Preparation:
In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
Heat oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add chicken (cut into thin strips), garlic (shredded) and ginger (shredded), and cook, stirring constantly, until chicken is golden on the outside, about 5 minutes. (don’t worry that whole time chicken looks like dead squid – it will brown sooner or later 0_o)
Reduce heat to medium, and add everything cut into strips: green onion, broccoli, peppers, peanuts, and the peanut butter mixture. Cook, stirring often, until broccoli is tender, and chicken is cooked through. It might be too dry, then add some water or soy sauce if you think dish is not salty enough.
Serve over rice or rice noodles.
And until next time, take care of yourself, and each other!

P.S.Cookies statement about the dish: 9.5 out of 10 the smorgasbord of tastes per spoonful in my mouth was rather outlandish.
