While waiting, looked up the origin of this expression. It’s BATED breath! I was thinking if you baited something you might catch it!
"Eagerly or anxiously, as in We waited for the announcement of the winner with bated breath . This expression literally means “holding one’s breath ” (bate means “restrain”). "
i’m so jealous you can get the fresh ones! i think i can get them frozen near by, but i usually rely on ground ahi amarillo or the paste sold in jars.
@ChristinaM - i do like SE’s version, but I think I’ve used epicurious’ too. basically i play off both, but i usually add aji amarillo to the chicken as well. The sauce to me is the key.

Here’s a red curry with cauliflower, sweet potato, shrimp, peas, and coconut milk. I have been making curries on the regular this winter, after realizing that curries are a tasty way to use the root vegetables we have.
This time I took an extra shortcut. I used a forgotten can of Maesri red curry paste from our spice cabinet. I added about a tablespoon of freshly grated ginger from my freezer to freshen up the taste.
My normal shortcut often starts with Thai red curry blend from The Spice House (since the mom and pop Asian market In my neighborhood closed and I no longer have easy access to the Maesri stuff).
Maybe it’s psychological but the purple tastes more flavorful to me than the white. But my picky 12 year old ate a bunch of it, so maybe it actually does taste better.
they’re just little pouches of marinade, with the flavors/ingredients particular to that dish, but the larb one goes the extra mile and also provides you with a tiny packet of toasted rice powder.
