Description
Red Curry Paste - 1 kg
Red curry paste is a concentrated spice paste composed of a variety of fresh and dried ingredients that together create a deep and complex flavour experience. The product is aimed at anyone who wants to prepare authentic Asian dishes at home without the use of artificial additives or preservatives. The paste contains garlic, dried red chilies, lemongrass, shallots, salt, galangal, shrimp paste, kaffir lime zest, and pepper, which provides a nuanced and well-balanced spiciness. It is typically used by frying a portion of paste in a hot pan or wok, after which coconut milk, meat, and vegetables are added and simmered into a coherent dish. The preparation suggestion indicates 50g of paste for 400g of coconut milk and 200g of meat, plus aubergines, but the quantity can be adjusted according to desired strength. If a milder taste is desired, the amount of paste can be halved. In terms of taste, the paste is warm and intense with clear notes of chili, lemongrass, galangal, and garlic, which develop into a round and rich aroma during cooking. The consistency is dense and paste-like, making it easy to portion and store. The paste is suitable for classic red curry dishes with chicken, beef, or tofu, but also works well as a flavour enhancer in soups, sauces, and marinades for meat and seafood. It can also be used in fusion cuisine to give dishes a Thai touch. The product is delivered in a practical 1 kg container, making it particularly suitable for catering kitchens, food enthusiasts, and those who regularly prepare Asian food. The paste contains shrimp and is therefore not suitable for people with shellfish allergies. The product is free from artificial flavour enhancers and preservatives. Red curry paste is a popular choice for homemade Thai curry, Asian wok dishes, spicy curry sauce, and authentic Thai cooking.
