Notes

Use fresh ingredients for maximum flavor. Adjust curry paste to suit your spice tolerance. For the best experience, serve with jasmine rice and spring rolls. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat gently on the stove. Try adding a splash of fish sauce or lime juice for extra flavor before serving.
