Notes
- Sauté the paste until fragrant: That is an important step to bloom the herbs and spices, releasing their flavor while cooking out any raw taste.
- Change the flavor profile: Simply substitute the yellow curry paste with green or red curry paste to easily change the flavor and heat level.
- Adjust the intensity: By adjusting how much curry paste you use.
- Experiment with add-ins: Just note the vegetables must be added in order of their cooking time, so nothing ends up raw or overly mushy.
