Red Curry paste is a key ingredient in this preparation. You can make it from scratch at home but given the plethora of ingredients that it calls for, you can use the Thai Kitchen's vegan Red Curry paste for convenience like way I do. Cooking shouldn't be complicated, should it? As long as you can achieve a healthy version of restaurant style dishes at home! Here is where you can find it.
