Thai Curry Paste

Posted on 24. Jan, 2010 by admin in Ingredients

Thai curry paste is sold in little cans, pouches or tubs. I recommend the little 4-ounce (xx-g) cans or pouches as they are easy to store and use. If you do buy the larger tubs, curry paste does keep well in the refrigerator for several months if you store it properly and keep it covered. There are many different types of curry paste – red, green, yellow, masaman. Each is made from a different combination of herbs and spices such as garlic, ginger, kaffir lime leaf, lemongrass, galangal, and of course chilies. If you’re new to working with curry paste, it’s best to add just a bit first into the dish, taste and then adjust.
