Thai Manna's Panang Thai Curry Kit

PANANG KITS

How peanuty is your Panang? If you're a peanut lover you probably already do this but, I usually keep some whole peanuts on hand to add to any of our curries and pad thai BUT what if there was yet another level? A level that gave you a richer sate like curry?⠀

Pull out one of your Panang Kits. You can also use your red kit if you already ate all your panang.⠀
⠀
1. Mini Chopper - Add your paste, 30ml peanuts or a tablespoon of peanut butter. Blend away. If you aren't getting a good blend going, use some of your coconut milk to loosen up your paste to help it along. Cook your Kit as per normal.⠀
⠀
2. Mortar - If you don't have a chopper or really like using your mortar, go ahead with the above steps with either peanut butter or peanuts. Coconut milk wont be necessary for this step.⠀
⠀
3. Old fashioned spoon - If you don't have either of those, you can absolutely toss in a little elbow grease and mix your paste and peanut butter in a small bowl before cooking.⠀
⠀
Note: I prefer natural peanut butter but you can use others, just know that it will make your curry sweeter. If not using natural peanut butter maybe slowly add your palm sugar to taste when cooking instead of all at once. ⠀
Be mindful of how salty your peanuts/peanut butter is as well, you can cut back on some of your fish sauce and add to taste to keep from an overly salty dish.⠀
