Thai Peanut Chicken might be just the main course you are searching for. One portion of this dish contains roughly 20g of protein, 12g of fat, and a total of 362 calories. This gluten free and dairy free recipe serves 8. It is a budget friendly recipe for fans of Asian food. If you have rice, dry-roasted peanuts, olive oil, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the olive oil you could follow this main course with the Sauteed Banana, Granolan and Yogurt Parfait as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes roughly 40 minutes.

Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are my top picks for Thai. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. The De Morgenzon Reserve Chenin Blanc with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 34 dollars per bottle.
