Once you have the hard part of making the paste out of the way, this curry comes together quite quickly. Make sure to use a good, full-fat brand of coconut milk when making this dish. The thick cream that settles at the top of each can is rich in oil and acts as the perfect stir-frying medium to bloom the curry paste’s aroma and flavors. Many panang recipes call for the addition of ground peanuts instead of peanut butter. Either makes a fine choice, but I love the velvety texture that comes from using the stuff in jars. Finally, adjust the final seasoning to your own tastes. Some people like their curry sweeter or saltier than others, so feel free to add more fish sauce or palm sugar along the way to fit your own palate.
