I combined a small can of yellow curry paste with a small can of red curry paste to make a quick sort of Singaporean laksa base. I've used curry paste to marinade chicken. Also, red curry paste is great in butternut squash soup (pureed with coconut milk). And I have also made an Asian style meatloaf with ground pork, chopped shrimp, green or red curry paste, green onion, black fungus, broccoli slaw mix, mung bean noodles, and sliced bamboo shoots with lots of chopped cilantro. For fries, zap a little yellow curry paste in the microwave for a few seconds and stir with mayonnaise for curried mayonnaise. This also makes a great chicken salad dressing for something like Coronation Chicken.
I made a Fusionized chicken tikka with red curry paste and did a mint and basil chutney to go with it. I used coconut cream for both the marinade and dip. Curry pastes and coconut are the indianized influence on the Thai kitchen, a lot of the curries are Indian tweaked into suiting the thai taste buds.
I like to fry minced beef with onions, jalapeño peppers, and red curry paste and use it as omelet filling. It’s a great high-protein, low-carb breakfast for bodybuilders.
I always make chicken meatballs or chicken burger patties using curry paste or curry powder. It's so delicious!! Topping a curry chicken burger with a yogurt spread and fresh veggies is the perfect summer meal.
I recently made something like fusion dish "thai curry wurst". I fried german bratwurst, the sauteed onion, set aside, then i made dry curry base (sauteed massaman curry paste in oil, added a little of water). Then i added bratwurst and onions to this base and stirred until dish became dry and all curry base stuck to sausages. Mmmm
Some great ideas. I do tend to mix up my own pastes most of the time but if I am in a hurry a pre-made paste is such a great time saver. For a really quick meal at lunch time I like to use a bit of curry paste spread on a wrap, add a little sweet chilli sauce and then fill with sprouts, cucumber slices, grated carrot, shredded lettuce and sliced tomato. For those who might be a bit scared of heat in the curry paste you can replace it with crunchy peanut butter. Might sound weird but it tastes great :)
I make a regular chicken salad and add a touch of curry paste and a touch of Sherry. I find Curry Paste and Sherry marry very well together and use it in other dishes as well. Thanks for sharing.
I make green scrambled eggs all the time with pesto sauce, but I can see that my Thai green curry, worked into some sesame oii, might be on the menu Sunday morning. Thanks!
I use yellow curry paste as a seasoning for a peanut butter chickpea sweet potato stew. It is delicious! Serve as a stew over rice or as a soup with noodles with some extra broth.
I'm definitely going to try the curry paste meatloaf idea! I like to add curry paste to tartar sauce. The mayo tempers the spice and the sweet pickle relish really contrasts well with the spicy curry.
Sometimes I add curry paste while making fried rice, use it to marinade fried chicken, and a lot of times I put a little curry paste into my canned tune for breakfast / lunchbox sandwich
great idea!!! i had success growing eggplant this summer, but really didnt like the taste of it. will do something like that with next years harvest. going to grow thai eggplants in the spring for a summer harvest.
Love the small jars of thai red curry paste.. I spread a tiny but by itself on sliced boiled egg on bread with some picle or spinach yogurt dip on it--super smokey and spicy
My easy-lazy meal is a Mr. Noodles / ramen type soup. Into the soup pot goes a spoon of red or green TC Paste (lasts "forever" in freezer), fresh or frozen veggies, and (prepped, not raw) meat, along with double or triple the amount of water the noodle soup recipe calls for. Boil for 5 - 10 minutes. Then follow the regular noodle soup instructions. Yum and super easy.
I LOVE to make yakiudon (stirfried udon) or yakisoba with yellow curry which os awesome, better with this vacume sealed udon, you don't have to cook them, just throw them wok with the sauce and stir, the noodles will absorb it and cook perfectly and you can use any vegetables and protein. You can also use it as a dipping sauce in a tantanmen (dry version of the rament in which you dip thw noodles) ir un a risotto
Going back in time and you’re blowing my mind!! I’m making red Thai curry soup for dinner and this video I’ve missed in my browsing for recipes before! How? I’m still alive so it’s not too late to learn!
This video is for me especially because that bucket of curry paste is my favorite of them all (I don’t know if it’s my imagination or the amount I use or what….). But then I have a ton left over that goes bad… so now I have a good way to use it. Thank you. 😍
Lately I've been on a British food kick and been craving Sausage Rolls. I may have to try and put some red curry paste into some ground pork and then wrap it up in puff pastry to make a curry pork sausage roll. I wonder if you have anything like British Sausage Rolls in Thai Cuisine.
I made curry lime chicken lettuce wraps! I bought a spice gadget thingy that has 6 in 1 shaker and I don't like wasting food so I decided to try it out and IM GLAD I DID!!
Greetings from Malaysia. I always make Tomyam Fried Rice, Green Curry Grilled Chicken Thighs and Yellow Curry fried rice.Fried rice,fried rice and lots of fried rice using Thai curry pastes.
I bought curry paste on accident thinking I grabbed chili paste. That curry paste is still unused in my pantry as I have no clue what to do with it or if I even like it. I found your vid here and was thinking of putting some in the American Goulash I made last night. It needs a bit of something.... Thank you for the great information.
Sawadeeka Pailin 🙏 , I’m from Tanzania 🇹🇿 living in Thai…and I will be here for some good years 😊🤣…I have been looking for pilau masala here in Thai and I can’t find any where in the market here in Chiang mai, tried Lazada still can’t find it. If you may help please recommend where can I get it. Khob Khun Ka🙏
Duncan's Thai Kitchen has agreed to help. If you ever make it back to Thailand soon, Bethany Children's orphanage in Chaing Rai sure could use you too. Wishing you well.
I like to use curry in soups and gumbo. i use yellow curry in my chicken soup and green curry in my seafood Gumbo. both are so good and give a great depth to the flavor of each.
I loved this video! Such a good ideas, I’m always using curry past for just curry so I’m glad I saw this video! I love making thai food finally started my RU-vid channel and made a few thai recipes on my channel!
Pailin, great suggestions and ideas for other uses for your curry paste. I was wondering if you need to sauté the curry paste first if you are going to add it to mayonnaise, sour cream or cream cheese to be used as a dip or spread? Looking forward to your next video.
If the dip/spread is not going to be cooked, it would probably be a good idea to saute the curry paste first to get the "rawness" and any harsh notes matured first. Also, if there's raw shrimp paste in there etc. that needs to be properly cooked. Perhaps for quick meal ideas, we should keep sauteed curry paste in the freezer ready to add to whatever... in Malaysia, we do this for spice bases like laksa, mee rebus, soto etc. Make an extra-large batch of spice paste, then saute the whole lot and portion the rest for quick prep the next few times.
Piz miss Pailin, share some idea about how to make Mung bean noodles/glass noodles/cellophane noodles at home. i have seen all your noodle recipes and i really love them all, specially glass noodle recipes. but i cant get those beautiful noodles anywhere in the nearby market. plz share the process to make them in home instantly from mung bean fluor.
Sawa dee cap, Pailin! My mother left me many curry pastes to use and I found this video very useful. I was curious about using Thai paste as a marinade which you mentioned at 02:29. Is there a video of you using Thai curry paste as a marinade? How would it work?
Hi and Adam here - and that's a REALLY good question! I did a search hot-thai-kitchen.com/?s=curry and couldn't come up with anything, so I think you're going to have to ask her that one directly as she doesn't see the comments on here once the post is more than a week old (as per her note above). So click on "Show more" above to see how to contact her. Cheers!
Great ideas thanks for this vlog. I use a little curry paste in my stuffed seafood dishes.. really lifts the flavor of the meat. Thanks again. Bushyboy Oz.
Turmeric in smoothies is actually all the rage and turmeric in drinks has been around for ages. You should try golden milk. Use turmeric powder/fresh, I use turmeric tea cause it's widely available in Trinidad. Add a little evaporated milk/almond milk and milk and honey and it's great. I drink it iced. 😉 Btw I could totally see a curry paste gazpacho being delicious, just saying.
