Peanut Rice
I’m feeling like doing fuck all for dinner tonight. Besides finding out I’m unqualified for yet another part-time, minimum-wage job, I want to kick the whole Internet squarely in the junk. So, here’s one of my staples for when I’m too pissed off at the world to make anything decent. I usually eyeball the ingredients, but this is close-a-damn ‘nough:
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp curry paste
Dash of hot sauce
A bowl of cooked brown rice
Salt and black pepper to taste
Mix up the peanut butter, soy sauce, curry paste, and hot sauce in a bowl. Add water a splash at a time and whisk together with a fork until you have a pourable but not runny consistency. Pour over rice. Add salt and pepper if you want. Done. Use any curry paste you want. I usually use Thai Kitchen green curry paste. Tonight, I’ll be using some leftover vindaloo paste made from the recipe in the Cafe Flora cookbook. It doesn’t really matter.

The Red and Black cafe serves something like this, when you’re XgfX and order pasta with peanut sauce. Their version is a bit overwhelming with the rice, but there’s worse things than being overwhelmed by spicy nuts. Sorry you had a shitty day.

I’m sorry yesterday sucked so much! I hope today is better.
I like the layout of your blog. And peanut rice has to be tasty, I must remember that…

I’m feeling pretty pissed off (and on) this week, myself, so I’m right there with you. Way to use up the stuff in the PPK fridge pic, though!
