  1. What is “Thai sauce”? I know there is Fish Sauce, Sriacha, and Pad Thai sauce — but I’m not sure what this recipe is referring to.

  2. I believe it would be close to a ‘peanut thai sauce’ i’ve seen in the grocer, but with almonds instead. yum!

  3. I made this recipe for my sister and husband last night. We all loved it. My favorite recipe so far, but they all have been good.

  4. What does “Paleo friendly” Thai sauce mean? (or for that matter, “Paleo friendly” anything). I’ve seen the term used in a few of the recipes.

  5. It usually just means that a traditional recipe has been altered to make it fit into the guidelines of the Paleo diet. For instance, Paleo “rice” is just shredded cauliflower – it looks and acts like rice, but it’s not a grain.

  6. So what’s in regular Thai sauce that isn’t Paleo-friendly? I assume some sugar?

    Laurie

  7. Yes, often sugar, preservatives, soy, etc. By the way, I just changed the recipe to say “coconut aminos” instead of tamari. Coconut aminos taste like soy sauce, but don’t come from a non-Paleo source. Thanks for bringing my attention to this recipe.

  8. This is SO flavorful! I made this for my family and our 3 year old couldn’t stop eating it. She even asked to eat it again before bedtime. The home-made tamari sauce is KEY! I used Braggs Liquid Aminos b/c I have not been able to find coconut aminos anywhere. Also, if you have kids try chopping the broccoli and carrots in a food processor until they are REALLY fine. I have found that my kids will eat these raw veggies if they are chopped really fine and the texture is so nice.

  9. ps: also on the tamari sauce – I put everything in my food processor to get the garlic and almond butter to a very fine texture. OMG this sauce is SOOOOOO delicous!!!!!!!

  11. OMG!this was awesome! Who needs real Thai food when you can have this! I highly recommend this recipe. I ended up chopping the chicken and throwing it on the pan with some sea salt and black pepper and also added some lemon juice. I let it cook on med/hi until it was all dry. I skipped out on the cabbage. The secret though is in the sauce. Do the exact recipe (I used soy sauce instead) and you’ll love it. Had this the next day as a chopped cold salad.

  12. My leftovers became a salad as well.

    Great recipe. Going to try the “paleo” sauce next time.
