[@toon-in9926]

Hi Pailin, I can’t seem to find the recipe/ video that you did; adding Thai noodle sauce as your “secret” recipe that a friend shared with you. What recipe/ dish was it? Thanks!

[@conniebennett6646]

How do u know how hot the Chili's or store bought paste will be I usually like it one star hot. Lol according to resturants I've eaten at. I don't want to ruin all those groceries in a too spicy dish. I do eat spicy food tho. Just not over the top make u sweat hot. Lol thank you for your wonderful videos and pretty presentations!

[@aswindaeka3557]

I come here to know how actual red Thai curry cook. I feel sorry about uncle Roger who watch Jamie Oliver red Thai curry video. :)

No, I refuse to call what Jamie Olive Oil made “Thai Red Curry”. More like British Orange Soup.

Just made this using Pai’s curry paste recipe. It’s delicious! Thank you so much Pai for an amazing recipe ❤️

[@boatnerhowell9760]

Thank you for your work. You have "demystified" Thai cooking for me and I absolutely love it. I am a type 2 diabetic and I control my blood sugar with diet. I have used sucralose and/or stevia for the "sweet" flavor it it seems to work well.

[@annalorraineyu-heppenstall4564]

I just found your channel as I was craving for squash curry. I love how easy they are for beginning cooks like me! 💯🙌

[@paulking962]

I was walking my dog Jenny the other day after a severe hail storm and I found a kifir lime tree. It's been there this whole time but I didn't know until the hail knocked down around 200 kifir limes. I recognize them right away. I took a few home and used them in the Thai food I had just bought 😋

[@zmollon]

I'm Canadian. I can only dream of doing this

[@nostaticatall]

Definitely going to hit the market this weekend and find some squash to do this! Beautiful.

[@christinaechoi]

Made this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I would say it tastes even better than in Thai restaurants! Loved the squash in the curry :) I also added yuchoy just because I had it on hand and it was a really robust meal. Thanks for sharing an amazing recipe!!

[@albertrossmariner]

I’m a devoted follower of yourself the food is scrumpdelicious but your relaxed girlie approach is so refreshing among the serious faced

[@catherineann5859]

I made this for lunch for my family and it was absolutely delicious! I used store bought red curry paste and used approx 2 tbsp since I didn't want it extra spicy-came out PERFECT! I served this with your long green beans recipe and fried tofu recipe- ALL GREAT!! I'm so happy I found your channel :) Tasted like I was at a thai restaurant!!

[@franr6882]

how did you store the rest of the paste?

[@sasaevernow]

I just love yr videos, love Thailand and Thai food. Thanks

[@brandon3872]

This sounds delicious, I can't wait to make it! I will add some lime juice at the end, as I really like it in curries! 🙂

[@tomiszati9479]

Pailin, you have so much experience and such brilliant cooking skills. Also I really like how you explain each and every step to each recipe. Thank you so much for your advice and your brilliant videos.

[@MrQuagmire26]

Also, another trick i was taught at the Blue Elephant in Bangkok. Fry the curry paste on medium high heat, add 1 ladle of coconut milk, wait til oil floats on top. Repeat same process 2-3 times and then add rest of the coconut milk. This resulted in a quite rich flavour and actually made a difference. However, I love your channel Pai;)

[@heidifink991]

that is exactly how you are supposed to do it!

[@RomMaNee]

Correct😋

[@Finn959]

Can’t you simply fry the paste in straight coconut oil? Especially when lots of commercially available milk has emulsifiers etc

[@bn5445]

@@Finn959 I tried it since I have a bunch of coconut oil, and it's not the same.

[@teebee1204]

When you say "repeat the process" does that mean you started with only 1/3 or 1/2 curry paste, then coconut milk, then on the 2nd time you add another 1/3 or 1/2 curry paste, fry it and then add another ladle of coconut milk, OR the 2nd time you just add more coconut milk until it separates?

[@pqf30]

Hi, I made this today and it turned delicious. I bought store bought thai red paste had to use only 2 tbsps. I didn't have fish sauce, so just used salt and water. It was still heave. I used cauliflowers, peppers, and broccoli as veggies. Fantastic! Thankyou.

[@happycyclist]

This is a terrific and easy dish to make! I have made it twice now. I took some to a friend and she loved it too! I may have used a slightly different squash, but no peeling required, so very easy. Aroy mak!

Have made red nd green curries many times but thr flavour really infused in the curry this way. Thanks a ton for showing this easy yet flavoursome recipe 👍

[@hidayatrahmat8505]

I like the way you cook and explain things, it’s so practical and easy to follow. Anyway, I made the green curry of your recipe, it turned out well. Thank you for sharing!

[@maryleialoha2843]

This is the 3rd recipe of yours I made. Since we already just finished the pot of your turmeric chicken soup recipe I decided to go with shrimp in the red curry. I made garlic and lemon zest sauteed shrimp separate, which I added after I made the curry with the squash and basil. I also added fat cut onion and thinly sliced tomatoes. It was soooo "ono broke da mouth" deelicous! I'm loving the fish sauce! So many wonderful different tasting ingredients that blend so well together. Next I will be making your green curry recipe!

[@stantondockins6184]

Excellent video, really liked your detailed explanations.

[@paulking962]

You have me craving Thai food again. That's not a bad thing though. I have my favorite Thai restaurant and I usually buy enough to last me 3 to 5 days because I love it all.

[@maibouchot9573]

You have such a lovely smile! Can't wait to cook this tonight

[@asmith8898]

Weirdo

[@MrTerror923]

i make this all the time, it also goes great with bamboo shoots you can find in the asian aisle of most grocery stores, I also crumble up peanuts and put it in as well for an extra crunch.

[@gabola71]

Cooked this last night with a butternut squash and it was wonderful.. I will be making this again

[@genes2311]

I just made this. Was hard to source everything but I was able to get everything , even the Kapi for fresh hand pounded red curry paste. This dish in incredible ! I added additional fragrance by adding 8 - 10 Makrut leaves torn into small pieces while adding all the liquids. I also added half a butternut squash, and carrots for additional body and texture and half a red pepper + half a orange bell pepper for more color to the dish. Incredble dish and reminds me of curries I had in Southern Thailand. Kob khun chef khap.

[@khadijakadar1397]

Pailin you are my best coach!!!!!! My origine is morocan and i'm from France and Belgium, i lived my last five 5 years in Malaysia,Thailand and Indonésia that's why i falled in love with asian food. Now i"m back to Belgium, i learned all my Asian recipes from you and i cook only isian food at home. All my friend call me asian chef😊....Thank you so much your are realy my best teacher❤❤❤❤.

This curry was extremely delicious, I added in some vegetables that I had, spinach, pumpkin, mushrooms and sweet pepper and it turned out amazing. This is a great way to make veges taste incredible.

[@nellyLoyo2010]

I finally found it! I had this dish at a friends house and since then I’d try to order it in my local Thai restaurant, but i never knew the name. Until today Yaaaass 😆. Luckily i had the ingredients in home (except the squash tho)and i made it. So im commenting the video while im eating 🤣. Thanks for sharing 😇.

Hello Pailin's love your cooking 🍳 Can you do more veggies 🌼🌺🌸

[@laydeeviciouz]

Thank you for the tips on adding little bit more palm sugar, fish sauce and coconut milk when the store bought red curry paste is too spicy. Also adjusting the chicken broth also balances the flavor. Every time I add of each more ingredient . I’m constantly tasting it to make sure I didn’t go over board seasoning it.

[@InTheKitchenWithJonny]

Looks really good

[@hegmonster]

Love your channel, the way you explain all the steps. You've talked me through several good green curries and tonight I'm trying a red with beef.

[@ilocanoboi734]

omg... that looks so yummy... always great vids Pai....

[@gioganeshramos8481]

I don't know if you remember or not but you added a photo of my red curry a few years ago to one of your newsletters. I just made this dish again and I can't help getting emotional over it it's that good and sort of sentimental to me. I recently had this dish at a Thai restaurant here in Florida and not trying to brag but seriously why does mine taste so much better. Through your channel I feel I gotta decent grasp on Thai cuisine as its one of the best foods in the world to me...I deem you the Queen of Thai cooking. Ever since I discovered your channel I grew a tremendous amount of appreciation for Thai food...more than ever before because you break it down to simple steps so anyone around the world can cook this amazing cuisine at home. I would like to see more videos in Thailand if possible...through your recipes I have developed a deep desire to visit Thailand...I want to taste everything while I'm there. Sorry for the rant but this is my way of sincerely thanking you for opening a whole new Thai chapter in my life. ขอบคุณคร๊าบ (I hope I wrote that right lol)

[@schnook11]

Made this tonight using kabocha squash, cubed eggplant, and chicken breast. Thanks for the tip on adding breast meat in later--it stayed nice and tender that way. The kabocha and eggplant cooked at about the same rate. I didn't have the ingredients to make homemade paste, but the Maesri brand has a great spicy kick using ¬4 1/2 Tbsp. for this recipe. Everything came out perfect; this is a keeper.

[@seizethedayandlive]

Looks fantastic; thanks for sharing!

[@Rachel-ge3gl]

I just made it and it came out fantastic! Very quick (30 mins total), easy, and healthy. I used store bought red curry paste and substituted the squash for Japanese pumpkin because it was on sale. I added green beans, 1 bell pepper, and a can of baby corn about a minute before I turned the heat off. You can really add whatever you want to this recipe and it'll come out great. You can easily customize based upon any dietary restrictions, or whatever you have on hand.

[@franr6882]

How much/measurement did you use of your store-bought curry paste...also how did you store the rest just wondering because I bought from the store too and I bought the brand mae ploy

[@aishvaryaarora3102]

ive got some squash to use and i cant wait to try this!

[@rebeccafoo]

Thank you for your red curry paste as yours is simple. I will use it to cook Crab curry one day

[@jshoota19ify]

I forgot to get chicken broth, but had unsalted beef broth in pantry. It came out delicious. The wife and kids loved it. I like the Kabucha Melon. It balances out the spiciness, with a cross between a sweet potato and pumpkin flavor.

[@happycyclingphotos1293]

I made this curry. It's so delicious! Love it a lot.

I followed your instructions and it turned out delicious. I'm super amazed at how easy this was to cook, even for a person like me who never cooks. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe and making it easy to follow. How do you make it more spicy? I think you said to use more paste but is there another method to use after the dish has been cooked? Perhaps add more red chilies?

My mouth is watering...Have you ever put natural peanut butter into your red curry? I've been doing that lately and it's divine!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Peanuts and curries are a great pairing. We put crushed peanuts in panang curry!

[@bluorb]

Ok. So I've been making curry for years & it is the one I considered my best dish. As it turns out, I've been making curry wrong for years 😳 sauteing the curry makes such a difference, plus I used some pre-made curry paste & also added in all the components to add freshness (except I didn't have shrimp paste) and I think that added a ton. I can taste that I used actual palm sugar instead of brown coconut sugar (I've been snacking on the hard chunks, so I recognize the unique taste 😹) I've actually never had it this good at a restaurant either. Thank you so much for blessing me with the gift of truly exceptional chicken coconut curry 🤤😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻 I ate a bowl to see if it needed anything... It doesn't. Perfection😌

[@vanni6923]

👀👀 Hello Pailin, I noticed you didnt hydrate the thai chilies before putting them in unlike your older curry paste video. Is that because it's actually stronger dry or something else?
