For peanut sauce, add coconut milk, peanut butter, water, white vinegar, ginger paste, red pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, turmeric, sugar, and salt to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat and stir until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

For chicken, heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Pour in a small amount of oil, then add chicken. Cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant read thermometer inserted near the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Nectarine Salsa
A refreshingly sweet and tangy blend. Especially good when cooked on the grill and served with a mild fish such as tilapia. If you are grilling fish, the salsa can be cooked on the grill at the same time and served over the fillets.
