Red Thai Curry Paste
September 18, 2016
This is an authentic red thai curry paste passed on from EVERFIT athlete and orthopaedic surgeon Andy Vane. We had a great time learning how to create this over a couple of beers and then combining with the Red Tofu curry (see recipe on EVERFIT platform)

Red Paste Method
1) Put peppercorns, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds in a mortar and pound well.
2) Add the remaining ingredients (except Shrimp paste * if vegetarian use a mixture of miso and fermented bean paste), pound until mixed well.
3) Add the paste and pound until fine and smooth.
We used a nutri bullet instead of the mortar and then blended everything up well. You could also use a food processor.
