Preperation

Spicy Peanut and Lime Sauce: In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry curry paste for 1 or 2 minutes or until fragrant. Whisk in peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce and brown sugar until combined. Bring to simmer; simmer for 4 or 5 minutes or until sauce starts to thicken. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Assembly: For each serving, in small sauté pan, heat 1 tbsp (.3 oz) oil over high heat; stir-fry 1/2 cup (4 oz) cubed chicken, 1/2 tsp garlic and 1/2 tsp ginger for about 1 minute or until chicken is browned. Add 1 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp fish sauce and 1/4 tsp hot sauce; stir-fry for 1 or 2 minutes or until chicken is cooked.

Meanwhile, warm 2 tacos according to package directions. Divide stir-fried chicken between 2 tacos.

Toss cabbage with chilies. Top each taco with 1 tbsp (.2 oz) shredded cabbage and 1 tbsp (.2 oz) bean sprouts. Drizzle each taco with 1 tbsp peanut sauce. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp green onions. Serve with lime wedge (if using).
