Salmon Inspiration!

[Saregama]

Maesri is what I use because I often cook for vegetarians and most others have shrimp paste. I just picked up Aroy-D. Have used Mae Ploy in the past.

(Thai Kitchen is very weak for my palate, but may be fine for those who want a very light flavor.)

Here:

THAI - Summer 2019 (Jul-Sept) Cuisine of the Quarter

Came across these Thai curry paste taste-offs and thought I’d share. Her top rankings (Mae Ploy, Aroy-D, Namjai) all have shrimp paste (I haven’t come across Aroy-D without it yet), and I often cook for vegetarians so Maesri is what I prefer to stock (and adjust with fish sauce for the meat eaters). I used to buy Mae Ploy, but between the huge size of the jar (Maesri comes in small cans too) and the shrimp paste, I switched. Thai kitchen has almost no flavor. Such a waste.
