Como fazer Thai Red Curry Paste
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor or high-powered blender. Process until a smooth paste forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
- For immediate use: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the paste and fry for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and the oil separates slightly. This step enhances the flavors.
- Add your choice of protein (chicken, tofu, seafood, etc.) and/or vegetables to the pan and cook until tender.
- Stir in coconut milk (amount to your liking) and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Include the leftover lemongrass pieces from chopping in your cooking pot for an added layer of flavor. Remove before serving.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more fish sauce for saltiness, lime juice to reduce saltiness, sugar to counteract sourness, or coconut milk/plain yogurt to tone down the spice level.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and/or toasted ground nuts before serving. Enjoy!
- Store leftover paste in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
