In blender, combine the soy sauce, sweet thai chili sauce, peanut butter, rice vinegar, thai red curry past, fish sauce, ginger, garlic and juice of 1 lime. Blend until smooth and combined.
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Drizzle the pan with a little peanut oil and once hot, add the chicken in a single layer, stirring once or twice until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked, add another drizzle of peanut oil to the pan and then add the red pepper. Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes. Next add the carrots and edamame.
Slowly stir in about 1/2-3/4 of the sauce and bring to a simmer, cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the basil.
Meanwhile, heat the grill or a grill pan to high. Once hot, brush the pineapple with a little peanut oil and sear on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill.
Divide the rice among plates and or bowls. Top with stir fry + pineapple. If desired serve with fresh red chili pepper slices, basil and limes. Serve with any extra stir fry sauce. Enjoy!
