If you have the homemade red curry paste on hand, this sauce comes together pretty fast and will last five days, sealed tightly and refrigerated.

Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 quart (820 grams) canola oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups (336 grams) skinless peanuts
1/8 cup (18 grams) red curry paste
1 3/4 cups (455 grams) unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon (11 grams) kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 cup (120 grams) water
1 1/2 cups (180 grams) dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a wok or heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. When the oil registers 350°F on a deep-fry thermometer, carefully lower in the peanuts and fry until they turn a rich caramel brown. Remove with a strainer and transfer to paper towels to drain and cool.
  • Transfer the cooled peanuts to a mortar and lightly crush them with a pestle to a coarse texture; set aside. Combine the red curry paste and 1/4 cup (65 grams) of the coconut milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates and the mixture becomes fragrant-be careful not to let it scorch. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups (325 grams) coconut milk, the measured salt, water, brown sugar, and crushed peanuts. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the mixture stand for 45 minutes to 1 hour to cool and allow the peanuts to hydrate.
  • Transfer to a blender and puree until the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt as needed.

This sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some coconut milk. Overall, it was a good sauce and I would make it again.
