Thai Taste Review

Now if you are a regular reader of the blog, you know I love spicy food, its been an East Asian feast in our house this week. I love trying new dishes and  spices, these often though taking time to make from scratch, the great bonus of blogging is trying some superb pastes and meal kits.

Whats great about the kits is I don't have to think, I just provide the meat, maybe some veggies and within minutes I have a meal that seems as if it took hours.

Such is the latest range I received from Thai Taste.
They sent me an Easy Pad Thai Meal Kit and a range of Thai curry pastes. Tonight for instance, I walked in the house sliced some chicken, fried,threw in the Thai Taste paste and added fine green beans and green peppers, stock, fish sauce and went and had a cup of tea. Cooked up a pan of Jasmine sticky rice and dinner was done, tasting hot spicy and authentically Thai. It looked and tasted as if I'd been at work cooking all afternoon.

I wanted to try  Yellow Curry Paste Gang Garee the   Massaman - Red Curry Paste

But first the one I wanted to try most was the interesting sounding Kaeng Pa Jungle Paste its a lovely green colour and I did follow the recipe on the back at the beginning of the weekend seen above with prawns and mange tout replacing the snow peas.

My version has red chilli in to add even more heat, but it is a hot dish and also I cooked for long enough to make this a thicker sauce than you find it first to be.

Its a rather soup like consistency  if you cook for the suggested time.

Tonight's chicken was cooked as directions, with my choice of vegetables rather than those suggested on the pack. Regular readers of my foodie posts know I rarely stick to recipes and love to put my own slant on a dish.

The finished dish really works with the chicken and the whole family loved it,its a nice spicy heat that feels warming, the flavours very aromatic and I'm looking forward to trying the rest soon.
