Mae Ploy Red Curry Paste, 400g

This curry paste is absolutely amazing! Just one teaspoon will give you the taste experience of your life! It's warm, sweet and tasty. Just chop some onions and red peppers, fry them for 5 minutes, add the paste and fry for a further minute then add coconut milk and simmer down until it's almost at the thickness you want then add some prawns and cook them through for another 5 minutes. If you want it to absolutely blow your head off, use two and if you are completely insane, use three! I use ready cooked, frozen prawns but thaw them before use. That way, all you are doing is heating them up and the times I've given above are for using with cooked prawns - I don't know how long you should cook fresh ones because I've never used them. The red paste works best with prawns but I suppose you could use it with chicken as well. Personally, I prefer to use the green curry paste for chicken or Quorn. Same recipe as above but fry the chopped chicken/Quorn along with the veg, then add the paste, fry for a further minute and add the coconut milk, simmering until you get the desired consistency. Adding a few whole baby tomatoes at the end of cooking also works well with the red curry sauce. I know it's probably not authentic but it gives a nice sweet flavour and takes away some of the heat. Personally, I prefer these Thai curries quite thick but I think the authentic way is to have the sauce quite thin. If you are making it yourself, you can have it however you want and never mind how much a Thai chef would laugh at you for doing it wrong - just do it! Also, I find it easier to use if I ship the whole lot out of the plastic bag and into the container. It's a bit messy and time consuming but worth it in the end, Just squish it all out and tamp it well down and it will last for up to a year in the fridge. I've had green curry paste pots for well over a year and apart from the lemongrass flavour dying a little, it has still been hot and tasty.

The best paste I have come across and lovely kick and flavour. Don’t leave the sugar ingredient as it needs it to take any bitterness away

Excellent product!!

Nice curry paste. As others have commented, the heat level is higher than others I have used and so I suggest using less than suggested on the pack and then tasting. Annoying to find though that I could have bough it more cheaply in my local supermarket

This is our go-to brand of Thai curry paste - everything else just tastes inferior! It's fairly spicy but you soon learn to use the quantity that's right for you. The most authentic way to make a Thai curry would be to make your own curry paste, but that is quite time-consuming so if you want a faster way to use Thai curry paste in your curries, this one has all the ingredients you'd use if you were making from scratch, so it's fast and authentic.

Really easy to use and delicious. Tastes a lot more authentic than the British supermarket brands. Very good value for money as it's quite a big tub and keeps for ages.

Very authentic. Much better than M&S and Waitrose

Much smaller tub than previously purchased and priced has increased

I have to give the product 5 stars.m because the product is fine. But Holy moly is it spicy! I am used to the Thai kitchen red curry paste. I go through tiny jars like crazy when I make big batches of curry and they cost me a fortune at the grocery store. I thought I'd try to save some money buying this brand, but it is so much spicier! Flavor is great! But what good is flavor when my mouth is on fire and I can't taste anything? It's just not for me. If you can stand a medium to higher heat, this will suit you well. But I'm a mild girl. So Thai kitchen brand is better suited for me. Yes this would go farther because of how potent the spice is, but I love that full depth of flavor with less heat! I sautéed it for a few seconds in oil. Only a spoonful. I had to add two cans of coconut milk while trying to suit it to my taste and it was still too spicy. It was barely even pink. Too hot for me. I gave the rest to my father that eats raw red Thai chilies for fun! He'll love it! It's just not for a weakling like me! The 32oz tub of Thai kitchen brand is $23 compared to this $7 slightly smaller tub. But the cost difference doesn't matter in the end if I can't eat it. If you are used to Thai kitchen brand and like the nearly non existence of heat but tons of depth in flavor. Stick with that brand. If you want more heat, then this more authentic brand will be a delight! Especially for the price! I wish it worked for me! You can't beat the price for the size!

もう１年前から、もっと前かもレッドカレーペーストがいい。味が1番好きでふ他ににも種類ありまふが、やっぱ レッドカレーペーストを買い続けてふ ゴロゴロ蓮根のレッドカレーパッタイ！ ライス麺をゆがいて、ご飯じゃなくて麺でふ

I love it delicious

Faites rissoler de 1 cuillère à café (doux) à 2 cuillère à soupe (super hot) de cette pate dans un peu d'huile (le tournesol fait très bien l'affaire), ajoutez la moitié d'une briquette de lait de coco (10cl) pour bien diluer le tout, ajoutez votre poulet coupé en dés, faite les bien blanchir sur toutes ses faces (environ 4-5min), ajoutez le restant du lait de coco (10cl), [éventuellement 10cl d'eau si vous aimez le curry bien liquide (je m'en passe)], 3 à 4 cuillère à soupe de sucre, 2 cuillère à soupe de sauce poisson, et enfin ajoutez un trio de poivrons en lamelles surgelés (plus rapide). Et voilà, vous avez un curry thai de compétition réalisé en moins de 10 minutes chrono ! Je recommande chaudement

Fabulous curry paste .Quite hot ,but full of goodies.I don’t know why it’s not available everywhere.Stores well and for a long time and very easy to use .Makes a fabulous vegetarian curry.
