The story behind this recipe
I grew up in Darwin and loved the cultural melting pot of Asian Food it has. Moving away to other cities in Australia I found I could no longer find anywhere that made a Thai peanut sauce just the way I remembered it.

So I started experimenting and this is what I came up with. I can't have dairy and find the more authentic coconut cream normally used in this dish just doesn't sit well with my kids stomachs. So I make my own nut milk and use that.

I tried it on my extended family at Christmas time and they said it reminded them of "home". Goes great on chicken, beef, vegetables or just plain rice or noodles. When I was pregnant with my middle child it's all I wanted to eat. Peanut sauce, egg noodle and snake beans. Yum.
