Chef's Tips

  • Double the peanut sauce recipe to use up all the coconut milk. Freeze leftovers for quick meals later.

  • Make coconut rice by replacing half the water with coconut milk when cooking rice for a fragrant, rich side dish.

  • Leftover peanut sauce is perfect over noodles, vegetables, salads, or as a dipping sauce.

  • Velveting the chicken with baking soda, soy sauce, and cornstarch makes chicken breast juicy and tender.
