It’s rice fever over here in the Inspiralized kitchen. I got it bad.
You’ll tell me if I’m ever overdoing the rice or the noodles, right? I try to find a balance, but, man, this rice is just too good to keep under wraps.
Especially today’s recipe.
Hi, my name is Ali and I’m a nut butter addict.
PHEW! IT FEELS SO GOOD TO SAY THAT.
I really, really, really love almond and peanut butter. Like, I-gained-15-pounds-in-college-because-I-ate-so-much-of-it. Most freshman gain the 15 from adjusting to cafeteria food, the alcohol intake, the late night pizza with dorm friends.
Not I. I gained it from the peanut butter. Whenever almond butter stole the spotlight, I started devouring tubs in a couple days. I can’t be trusted.
Heck, it’s better than downing a Big Mac with a chocolate milkshake and a side of fries, right? We’ve all got our rationalizations. That’s mine!
Anyway, I’ve seriously digressed. This peanut coconut red curry is the sweet potato rice’s best friend. The sweetness of the potato really comes out with the peanut butter. Thus, there’s no reason to add any sugar (although traditional recipes call for it) to the curry.
I may be biased (on account of my aforementioned addiction to peanut butter), but this curry sweet potato rice might be the tastiest thing you eat all week.
It’s got the perfect amount of sweetness, creaminess, smoothness and is packed with hearty flavor from the pork and bell peppers. Every bite melts in your mouth, especially since the sweet potato rice is so soft and fluffy.
Just start with a bed of sweet potato rice.
Then, add a large spoonful of this curry with pork!
And…… dig in!
Needless to say, peanut curries are my favorite and this will quickly become a new favorite of yours. My spider sense is tinglin’ on that one.
