3. Heat the remaining oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add the remaining curry paste and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until aromatic. Add the stock, soy sauce, lime juice, peanut butter and sugar. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to the boil. Check seasoning.
