Every time I make this for guests, it gets rave reviews. I use chicken breast tenderloins and cook that with sauteed onions. Boil up some bok choy till tender and throw that in when you add the seasoning (I use the whole packet for one pound of chicken) and coconut milk. Serve with white rice for a sure winner every time.
A Taste of Thai products consistently has the best and freshest tasting seasoning mixes. Also recommended: Spicy Peanut Bake.

I enjoyed having the opportunity to stock up on this Thai Red Curry Paste, which I've used before but which tends to be more expensive than I'd like when purchased in the local store. It keeps well, and with a couple of cans of coconut milk and plenty of veggies, I've always got the makings of a good, spicy, satisfying meal on hand.

This makes an amazingly delicious red curry! I add 1 packet of paste, 2 cans coconut milk (the real stuff, with the fat), 2 Tablespoons fish sauce, 3 chicken breast, 1 red pepper, 1 can of pineapple, 1 small can of bamboo shoots, and 1/4 cup sugar. Chop and simmer it all for about 30 minutes, and serve over rice. It has just the right amount of heat, and tastes like something you would get from an authentic Thai restaurant. Of course, you can use whatever veggies you have on hand, these are just my favorites. I make a large pot, and freeze it in individual containers for a super-fast meal. Taste of Thai Red Curry Paste, I don't know what I would do without you!! (Actually I do, and my Thai take-out bills would be outrageous!)

This is a great and delicious way to eat Thia food at home. Just "melt" the entire packet (if you like it spicy) into two cans of coconut milk in a pan. Then add your favorite meat and veggies. I usually use chicken strips and a bag of frozen asian veggies.

If you like hot, this is hot. My wife used to buy this in a local store but it is no longer available. I checked on Amazon.com where I make most of my internet purchases and there it was. This stuff is GREAT!

While the restaurants always do it best, these curry pastes are pretty tasty. It's easy to use, fast, and you can add the meat and veggies of your choice. For those of you scared of something spicy, you might use a little less, but for most, it's just right, and for those that like it spicier, you can add a little crushed red pepper. Since the coconut milk has to be added separately, you can also control the fat content--you can go light or go with the much yummier, creamy stuff.

A Taste of Thai has become increasingly my favorite brand for pastes and mixes. Their Red Curry paste is thick with a rich, robust flavor. Excellent in curries, it is also great as a marinade for grilled chicken or beef. I've also used it in a blend with soy sauce, Lee Kum Kee's premium oyster sauce, and lime juice for fried noodles. Depending on your palate, you may find the level of spice mild or a touch spicy. Being Asian, I find it on the mild side. A few American friends who have tried my curries and fried noodles made with this paste have declared the spice has just the right amount of zing. Your mileage may vary.

I'm quite picky when it comes to my curries. I've tried many American products and found them bland and washed-out. I've also tried many curry pastes imported FROM Thailand that I had picked up at my local Asian store... but this is by far the best out there.

OMG this is delicious! Easy, quick and very yummy, I ate some leftover straight from fridge and it was still wonderful cold. Husband loved this as well, try it, try it!

Love this curry paste. I have celiac disease so am thrilled that I can buy a gluten-free mix that can make authentic Thai dishes at home. Use it to make curried chicken, soups and veggie dishes (check out the Taste of Thai website for great and easy recipes). I've also tried the panang curry, coconut ginger soup base, pad thai, and spicy peanut and they're all good. Red curry is my favorite.
