Thai Veggie Stuffed Sweet Potatoes With Spicy Peanut Sauce

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Coat the skin of the potatoes with a little oil or butter before baking. Pierce a few times with a fork or knife and wrap in foil. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 90 minutes, or until fork-tender. Alternatively, you can microwave potatoes in a covered microwave safe glass dish with a splash of water at the bottom to help steam. Cook on medium or medium-high power between 7-10 minutes per potato. Check every few minutes and remove when fork-tender. Don’t overcook.

Step 2

In a large pan or wok add 1 tablespoon cooking oil and sauté chicken over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, until center is no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper and remove to a covered dish.

Step 3

Return the pan to the heat and add an additional drizzle of oil, if needed. Add bell pepper, carrots, cabbage, and onions to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Stir in garlic, ginger and cook a few more minutes until carrots are almost tender. Mix in spinach, edamame, and return cooked chicken to the pan. Squeeze lime juice over the veggies, sprinkle with salt & pepper, and stir to coat. Continue to cook until spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

In a medium bowl or blender, mix together all listed sauce ingredients from peanut butter to ginger. Add additional coconut milk to thin and adjust seasonings to taste after blending (extra spice, honey, etc.)

Step 5

Cut a slit lengthwise down each potato, open and fluff the inside with a fork. Drizzle some peanut sauce into each potato and top with a generous serving of the stir-fry. Drizzle additional peanut sauce onto each stuffed potato and serve.
