Food You Can Cook With Thai Red Curry Paste
12 Dec
Excuse me as I find a million and one ways to utilize the red curry paste jar in the fridge. It’s my go-to ingredient at the moment if there’s ever such a thing! Wait till you see what else I came up with 
If you remember my Red Mac and Cheese then yes this is the recipe! Well almost. Using the same sauce as the base I figured I would come up with another meal :) I would totally categorize this as comfort food as it’s rich in taste and creamy! And being Malaysian, it helps that it has that extra spicy kick for our thick tongue
For the chicken:
I used chicken breast and seasoned it with paprika, lots of black pepper, lemon pepper, cayenne paper and garlic salt. Feel free to use any spice of your choice. Cook on the grill and set aside once done.
For the sauce:
Melt 2-3 tablespoon of butter, add in half chopped onions and 5 clove chopped garlic and fry until aromatic. It should smell glorious at this point. Pour in one box of whipping cream followed by one cup milk. Add in 1 – 1.5 tablespoon of red curry paste and stir. Throw in quarter cheddar cheese (processed or slice or even mix both), a handful of mozzarella cheese or any of your fav cheese. Let the sauce simmer and thicken first before tasting. If you like it more spicy, you know what to do 
Season with lots and lots of black pepper and some salt. You may add in some paprika and cayenne pepper spices for taste.
Sauce should look like this! RICH with its cheesy goodness with a hint of spice! And if you intend to make baked mac and cheese, throw in some chopped sausages and mix cooked macaroni in the sauce before putting them in ramkin bowls. Top up with cheese and breadcrumbs and bake
For the spaghetti:
In a separate pan, toast breadcrumbs until brown and put away. Pour some olive oil into pan, and fry some chopped garlic. Saute chopped red capsicum until soft. Sprinkle in half a packet of Dominos chili flakes. Throw in cooked spaghetti and coat. Using a spoon, slowly pour in the sauce and coat the spaghetti and continue cooking for a minute or so.
Arrange spaghetti on plate, put the chicken on top and drizzle with more sauce.
Ladies and gents, after all that hard work, this is the end result.
A sinfully rich dish to whet the appetite. I realize it lacks some vegs but we’ve not really fans of vegetables with pasta so…..
SOOO GOOD!
Food for the Gods?
Ahem I’d like to think so
At worse, it’s a good recipe for the Indian Thai Wannabe husband
Now this is what i call a smart cooking, you know dear,I’ve always wanted to dish up some simple quick dishes for my family, you got anything to recommend,,, quick one, or may be I could prepare the ingredients the night before,, i really want to help my wife out in cooking,
Thanks, the recipes I usually find are easy to make with simple ingredients. Perhaps you couuld scroll through my cooking/baking tags and see which one will suit you. Depending on what you and your wife would like to eat too
Ya you should suprise your wifey with some cooking, you’re such a good hubby Eugene 
Wow. Will definitely try this for my Sat or Sun meal. Looks creamy and yummy! I might omit the breadcrumbs. Never a fan :oP
Try try please. Eh your Thai Curry Paste in UK the spicy type or not? As far as I know it’s not so maybe you might need to put more. Okay make it and let me know
I normally buy from Asian Market whereby the product is from Malaysia or Thailand. Then again you are right. Must really look at the package- if it is for Malaysian or Asian market or it is for the local market. If it is for the local, hell… Thai tom yam or laksa or sambal never taste the same as what we get in KL.
Okay good, make sure its from Malaysia or Thailand. Coz the original recipe called for a WHOLE jar and I was like WTF, sure will burn the tongue so I’m convinced its the US version where it’s bland and not hot to cater for mat sallehs.
I am drooling at the thai red curry paste, can i buy them locally? any idea what are the ingredients like?
Yes of course
You can get them in Cold Storage. I got the one imported from Thailand. Infact Carrefour and local supermarkets also carries red and green curry paste. Of course you can make it but it’s a wholeee lot of work. Mostly onion, chilli, ginger, cumin ok too much to list down. Better to buy the bottle, hehe.
i checked out the recipe online, seems a lot of work yes but no doubt sounds tasty.. i shd get it to include into my cooking
It definitely is, even I dont think I’d have the patience to make it when I know I can just pick up a jar in store. Either way I love it coz red curry is the easiest and fastest to make
