Notes

For best results, avoid overcrowding the pan and reserve the peach juice. Adjust seasonings like lime and chili to taste. Serve over jasmine rice or noodles with steamed vegetables. Leftovers store for 3-4 days; reheat gently. Chicken thighs are a great substitute, and sriracha works for Thai chili sauce.
