Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast or tofu
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 250 grams Broccoli florets
• 150 grams Carrots, julienned
• 100 grams Baby spinach
• 400 milliliters Unsweetened coconut milk
• 120 grams Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 120 milliliters Water
• 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken or tofu with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until fully cooked through or tofu until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the broccoli and carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Add the spinach to the skillet and stir until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and water. Whisk until smooth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the chicken or tofu to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over the mixture and toss to combine. Let everything heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the Pad Pra Ram over steamed jasmine rice. Garnish with crushed peanuts, if desired.
