Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1 minute, allowing the spices to bloom.
Pour in the coconut milk, then add the peanut butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Add the Greek yogurt, whey protein isolate, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using or storing.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve warm over your choice of grilled proteins, vegetables, or rice.
