  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2 small birds eye chili peppers, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, red curry paste, and chili peppers. Bring to a low simmer to melt the peanut butter but not a boil, because the coconut milk will separate. Stir until everything is throughly combined.
