Ingredients
  

Sauce Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 2 cloves garlic clove minced
  • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper

Stir Fry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced (about 1½ cups)
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into ½-inch dice
  • 6 cups chopped vegetables of choice I used napa cabbage, mushrooms, peppers, sugar snap peas and broccoli
  • 0.5 cup dry-roasted peanuts roughly chopped
  • 0.5 cup cilantro chopped
  • Prepared brown rice for serving

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: peanut butter, water, honey, soy sauce, red curry paste, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a large wok or deep, large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until fragrant and beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chicken and sauté, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked through and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes. Remove the chicken and onion from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then the mixed vegetables. Sauté until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the vegetables selected.
  • Return the chicken and onion to the skillet. Add the reserved peanut sauce. Toss to coat evenly, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the peanuts and cilantro. Serve hot over rice, topped with additional chopped peanuts and cilantro as desired.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of broth or water to keep the stir-fry from drying out.
