  • Cooking Time: 5 minutes
  • Serves: Makes 2¼ cups (550 mL)

Ingredients

Marinade

1 400 mL can of coconut milk (regular or light)
½ cup (125 mL) peanut butter
2 tbsp (30 mL) red or green curry paste
juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp (30 mL) fish sauce
2 tsp (10 mL) granulated sugar
¼ cup (60 mL) chopped coriander

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk coconut milk with peanut butter, curry paste, lime juice, fish sauce and sugar. Then stir in coriander.
