About this deal

Ingredients: Green Chilli 31.0%, Lemongrass 21.0%, Garlic 18.5%, Salt 12.5%, Galangal 8.5%, Shrimp paste ( Shrimp (Crusteacean) 80%, Salt 4.0%), Kaffir lime peel 2.0%, Coriander seed 1.0%, Pepper 0.5%, Cumin 0.5%, Turmeric 0.5%. Heat the fat until melted and then add 100g of Panang paste, cook for a few minutes on medium to mellow the flavors.

Adjust the quantity of the red and green chilies to taste according to your desired heat level. I’ve listed the Thai Dried Red Chilies, ground Thai Red Chili Pepper, and Chili Oil as optional and you can use as much or as little as you like, or omit them entirely if you’re eating with people who are not big on heat. Thai Kitchen: The weakest flavour in the group by a long shot. It is not spicy at all (so kid friendly). In this standardized test the curry sauce was too diluted to even determine how good the flavour was. It can be cooked by either using the canned green curry paste or using your own homemade paste. The main ingredients are Thai green curry paste, protein of your choice and some vegetables and herbs. Vegetarian + vegan: make this recipe with all vegetables, or vegetables + tofu plus substitute soy sauce (or coconut liquid aminos) for the fish sauce and this recipe is vegetarian and vegan. Namjai: A near-tie to Mae Ploy. It has a redder colour (if that matters to you) and a slightly milder shrimp paste flavor.For this recipe, we want curry paste, as it gives us the flexibility to enhance the flavors of this recipe to our liking. Recipe alterations: Then, the paste is used to make a coconut milk based curry with protein, veggies, herbs and Thai food essentials such as garlic, Thai sweet basil, kaffir lime leaves, coconut/palm sugar, and red bird’s eye chilies. Our first test involves making a basic Thai curry sauce following the exact same recipe. The process is shown in the video above, but ingredients added include coconut milk, water, and just a little sugar. I’m not seasoning them with fish sauce for this because most curry pastes already come with quite a bit of salt, and without any meat or veggies any fish sauce added would make at least some of these unpalatably salty. 5 curry sauces to be blind tasted and ranked. The Ranking If you want to learn more about curry pastes, I highly suggest watching my curry paste 101 video where I go more in depth into what it is, and how to use, store, etc. Also, to explore other ways to use curry paste, here are 5 ways to use curry paste beside making a curry. But what is a Thai curry paste anyway?

The main ingredient in this Mae Ploy Thai green curry paste is green chillies, distinguishing it from red curry paste (made from red chillies). The lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime and garlic in the paste create a hot, fragrant and tangy base – which is then cooked with coconut milk to create the signature Thai green curry. True, paste made from scratch might taste fresher and be more flavorful. But let’s face it, not everyone has the time on busy weeknights to be banging away at a mortar and pestle to first make a paste, and then make a curry for dinner! So jarred curry paste is the route I go with when I want this delicious curry on the table and in my belly pronto. 😋 Yes, there is a difference between green curry sauce and green curry paste. Green curry sauce often has additional additives to it like coconut milk, oil, and more that make it ready to use without needing to add coconut milk or any other seasonings. My favorite store-bought brands are Maesri Green Curry Paste (in a can) and Mae Ploy Green Curry Paste– available at most Asian Markets. Maesri and Mae Ploy can be quite spicy so start off with 3-4 tablespoons, until you are familiar with their spice level. You can always add a little more in the end. These both contain shrimp paste so not vegan. Although I’ve made green curry paste from scratch several times before (thanks to some training from Thai cooking classes in Bangkok –🙏), these days I prefer to use a readymade curry paste because it saves time and works just perfectly fine.Add a squeeze of lime and taste, adding more lime if needed. If you need more sweetness, add more sugar. More depth, add salt or fish sauce. Find your balance. 😉 What I love about Thai food is that every single dish is always so aromatic and just bursting with beautiful spicy, sweet, and occasional sour notes! ❤️ While my go-to store-bought paste has been Mae Ploy for years, and I have used many other brands in the past, I've never really compared them side by side or paid close attention to the subtle differences. So, to really find out what is the best brand (at least according to me), a blind taste test is called for. Add in the garlic, red and green chilies, baby corn, chopped coriander stem, and sliced strips of the large red chilies. Sauté for 30-40 seconds.
