Red Curry Paste - Vegan 400g
Ignite Your Kitchen with the Bold Heat of Cock Brand Thai Red Curry Paste
Experience the robust and fiery flavor of Cock Brand Thai red curry paste and master the art of "Kaeng Phet" (Spicy Soup). Unlike Green Curry, which uses fresh chilies, this Thai red curry paste gets its deep crimson color and complex savory heat from dried red chilies. This method creates a more mellow but long-lasting spice that pairs beautifully with richer meats.
Packaged in a generous 400g tub, this red curry paste is a masterful blend of dried red chilies, garlic, lemongrass, shallots, galangal, kaffir lime peel, and shrimp paste. Each ingredient contributes to its authentic, full-bodied depth, an essential characteristic of traditional Thai cuisine. It is a beloved choice for restaurants and home cooks who value uncompromising flavor.

Culinary Applications
To fully unlock the aroma and flavor, fry the red curry paste in coconut cream until the oil separates. This releases rich fragrances and intensifies the taste. Once fragrant, add your choice of protein; beef, duck, or pork are excellent choices with this paste.
Add vegetables like bamboo shoots and bell peppers for texture and freshness. Simmer gently with coconut milk to meld flavors beautifully. Finish by seasoning with fish sauce and sprinkling fresh Thai basil leaves for an aromatic lift and eye-catching presentation.
