In our house we like to eat a variety of different flavors. We like all kinds of different spices in our house. A lot of times we eat pretty simple and easy dishes because I don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. This meal combines my love of a simple meal with a the complex flavors of Thai food. This meal can be a quick weeknight meal and will also reheat as wonderful leftovers.
I took a short cut in this recipe and used the Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste. It has a depth of Thai flavors and it’s super easy to use, just open up the jar. For this recipe, this curry paste makes it quick and easy. And if you’re anything like me, these little tips make life so much easier and help in getting a healthy meal on the table.

Great recipes and website! Just be sure to note that “pink salt” is the Himalayan type of unrefined natural salt and not the pink salt used to cure meats! Since we are in the salt business, it occurred to me that it may be misunderstood by those not familiar with the natural salts.

Thanks for the clarification Donna!
