We’re taking some Thai Peanut Sauce that you find on the Asian aisle or in an international market and thinning it out with coconut milk. Then, saute and simmer a few veggies that complement the peanut and Thai flavors with the pork chops in a skillet.

To each gallon-size plastic freezer baggie, add the following ingredients:

  • Half of the sliced red bell peppers
  • Half of the sliced onion
  • 1 cup Thai peanut sauce
  • 1/2 cup of the canned coconut milk into each bag

Freeze & Thaw Instructions

Put baggie in the freezer and freeze up to 6 months in fridge freezer or 12 months in a deep freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight, or a warm bowl of water for about 20 minutes, before transferring to the skillet for cooking as directed.

Special notes

If you wish to use the entire can of coconut milk, you could swirl in a little more into the sauce, or save it for another meal. It’s also delicious swirled into coffee. :)
