1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk (full-fat is standard, but you can also use “light”)
1/4 cup Thai red curry paste
1 cup natural (unsweetened) creamy peanut butter
3 Tbsp . soy sauce

Instructions

Combine all ingredients except sesame oil in a medium saucepan and bring to a very gentle boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.
Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes over low heat; be careful not to let the mixture scorch at the bottom of the pot.
Remove from heat, stir in the sesame oil, and let the sauce cool for at least 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
