Thai Peanut Stir-fry with Coconut Jasmine Rice

Stir-fry may be your boring go-to dish when you have no other inspiration, but it turns out, cooking stir-fry with a recipe can actually turn out quite extraordinary, as was the case when we made this Thai Peanut Stir-fry from Everyday Greens, one of my favorite cookbooks. This dinner was in honor of my friend Matt who was visiting from St. Paul.



The key to this stir fry is the peanut sauce which is just: natural peanut butter, peanut oil, soy sauce, brown sugar and fresh garlic. The veggies were cooked in sesame oil and the tofu was fried separately. The rice was cooked in coconut milk. Altogether, yum. Had to photocopy this recipe for all attendants upon request.
