Agreed. I've watched this particular video about 10 times already, in preparation for actually making this dish this week.

[@SherineClarke]

I made this last night. All I can say is, "Oh my God, I never have to go to a Thai restaurant again!" The dish was out-of-this-world delicious! I never thought I could re-create such authentic Thai food. Now I want to make so many other dishes. Thank you for your great recipes, Pailin! If I can do this, anyone can.

[@gloriawee661]

It's rare to hear a Foodtuber explain the science and the 'whys' as she's cooking, it's highly useful information. Please keep doing what you're doing Pai!

[@nysweet0012]

GUYS, MAKE THIS RECIPE!! I made it tonight, a rainy night in NYC, and it was my first try at cooking Thai food. Not only was this dish better than most Thai dishes I have at restaurants here in Manhattan, but it was easy and fun. I want to thank you, Pai, for making such incredible content that can change a girl's evening from dreary to eventful. I also want to thank you for making a vegan recipe. I would love to see more of them on your channel! You are THE best culinary talent on KZbin, from your recipes, to explaining different types of coconut milk--the knowledge is practical and the recipes are perfection. Thank you again!

Here in Germany that kind of pepper is really common and called "Spitzpaprika" literally "pointed pepper" :) Also that curry looks amazing as always! Thank you for sharing :)

[@CalvinKrause]

So glad to see you putting out lots of vegan and vegan friendly recipes! :)

[@CarnivoreShortie]

Pai is sooo smart and funny! Watching her videos over the years. I just made this, and I doubled the recipe (10 tbsp of curry paste 🥵) . I accidentally did 2 tbsp of golden mountain (original recipe calls 1/2 tbsp = double should be 1 tbsp) , but it still came out really well. The chewy shiitake mushrooms .... yum!!! The only thing Ingredient I was missing.....and I need to find a Thai market soon, or else I’ll do something crazy like buy a kaffir lime tree. It’s so hard to find. (I just realized I’m also making her agar fruit jello this weekend!)... her cooking is starting to become part of my lifestyle as well ☺️

[@kofiperry19]

Finally! Over the past month I've been veganizing your curries to the best of my abilities and I'm so happy you did an official version :)

[@scruffylookingnerfherder1983]

I just made this and it is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted. Next time I’m gonna try it with sweet potato instead of tofu to switch it up!

I made this recipe tonight but I left out the palm sugar, limes leaves and long pepper. I used a red bell pepper in place of the long pepper, and it came out absolutely wonderful. So many flavors perfectly equal to each other. My husband loved it too. Great recipe!

[@shacheb]

Yes yes yes yes yes!!!! Thank you for this!!! Been wanting this recipe for so long.

This is great timing since I've followed you for the last few years and have been vegan since February this year! Thanks and keep up the great work!!

[@gigipizzuto4068]

I had to go to work in another town for a week so I looked for a restaurant which gave vegan options. I'd never had Thai before so I tried. I went there for lunch and dinner everyday. Red curry was definitely my favorite. I tried your recipe and it came out just like that of the restaurant. Thank you very much.

[@spanishlessonsforme]

Best recipe for red curry hands down! I made this and the whole family LOVED it. Thank you!

[@uodige1]

I made Thai Curry 3 times already by watching this.. my wife and kid love the thai curry! Thank you! Pailin!

[@EritreanChic]

Just made it, but without tomato paste . Amazing! So much flavor! I think what made a difference to me was the Thai Basil and Lime zest, frying the curry paste in coconut oil first, and adding Sugar! Made a world of difference.

[@artemis1style]

We are longtime vegans and love vegan Thai food/kai 👌🏽💜🌿

[@goobatroopa_]

I doubled the recipe and used yellow curry paste (8 tbsp) because I forgot to pick up red and it still turned out great. Both times with red and yellow paste it turned out better than some restaurants that I've been to. So grateful for this video thank you!

[@HomestyleFlavorswithDrNeha]

That’s an amazing vegan Thai curry! I keep coming back to your channel whenever I want to make Thai food. I love your recipes and your instructions are so easy to follow for those who are trying out a new cuisine altogether. I recommend your recipes to my friends when it comes to Thai curry. Thanks for sharing your kitchen creations through this channel! 😊😊👍

[@isabellaayala5534]

Okay so I made this curry two nights ago, and no joke, my parents (who aren’t on a plant based diet) loved it! They were questioning whether this had chicken or not haha. This is super good, and for being the only plant based eater in the house, it’s lasted me around 4-5 meals! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, I will definitely be cooking this again. soon! :) 🤍

[@bjarnesmith640]

As I'm home bound with lots of free time these days, I have started to try and learn how to make Thai food. Today I made a acorn squash green curry with chicken, onions, long red pepper and it was great for a first attempt. But I want to make some tofu dishes, and this dish will be my next adventure. It's amazing, using coconut milk and curry as a starting point, you can do so much. I will do my best to pick up on Pailin's little pointers and hope to learn how to cook many more Thai recipes. I've always loved Thai food, and it is so fun to be able to make it myself (yummy too). Thanks for sharing with us your cooking secrets Pailin!

[@SecretsOfAMakeupBag]

Honestly just made this for myself and it was sooooo amazing! Best at home curry I have made for myself by far! I couldn’t find lime leaves at my grocery store so I used fermented black limes from the Middle East instead and I think it worked really well. I left them to simmer with the curry then take them out just before I added my veggies. So blown away that a few simple tricks made store bought curry take like restaurant quality! If you’re debating on making this for yourself, don’t wait! This is an amazing recipe!

[@sebastonix]

I added tempeh once in this dish, i like how it absorbed all the flavor and provide extra burst in each bite

[@lizb7405]

I love that you explain so much about ingredients and cooking methods in your videos. I've honestly learned a lot about cooking from watching your videos -- not just particular recipes, but broad knowledge like how to prep different ingredients, what kind of heat to use for different types of ingredients, how to combine flavors, etc. I'm not a vegetarian but I thought what you said about glutamate was interesting and made me google glutamate, and gave me something to keep in mind, haha.

[@furgoch2011]

I love how you explain everything...this curry looks perfect. You're a natural at this.

Thank you for the help with picking mushrooms and how to prepare them! And washing then boiling the bamboo shoots!! You are an amazing host!!!💖🌷💕🌸

[@michaelmcnally1242]

I made a somewhat larger batch and I added a bunch more mushrooms, because why not, and it's extremely good. My local Southeast Asian shop (well, supermarket) has that UHT coconut milk and I've been using it by preference for a while, mostly because there are convenient 6-packs of little boxes. Also I used Panang Curry paste instead of plain red; in the brand I buy they seem to be very similar and I slightly prefer the Panang (and it's slightly less salty). Yum, highly recommended.

[@michaelmcnally1242]

Oh hey, also: anybody who's all-aboard the Tomato Paste train, if you want to go completely nuts find some Turkish "hot pepper paste" (it is not "hot"). A mix of tomato paste and that pepper paste really adds depth to almost anything; the pepper paste seems more strongly flavored when you sniff it than it ends up being in finished recipes.
