Ingredients - Preparation Method:

8 tbsp crunchy peanut butter 1 onion finely chopped 1 cup -- =A5 1 " thick" coconut milk 1 tbsp palm or brown sugar 1 tsp red chili pepper -- (cayenne) 1 stalk lemon grass -- finely chopped 1 tbsp fish sauce -- (Nam Pla) 1 tbsp dark -- sweet soy sauce It seems that making "thick" coconut milk is a little involved (I would g= uess you don't go out and buy it) and the following is a condensed and pa= raphrased version of what she says: "When I refer to "thick" coconut milk= in a recipe, it is made from the first pressing of the milk or water thr= ough the coconut meat..... To obtain 2 cups of "thick" coconut milk, you= 'll need 2 cups of coconut (she prefers to use dried, unsweetened [desicc= ated] coconut found in health food shops or Oriental stores) and 3 cups o= f whole milk. Scald the milk in a saucepan. Place the coconut in the mi= lk. Stir and remove from heat. Let stand until cooled to room temperatu= re, stirring occasionally. Strain this mixture through a sieve using the= back of a spoon to express as much liquid as possible." = - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - = NOTES : I found this one in Jennifer Brennan's "Original Thai Cookbook". = =
