What is green curry paste made of?

Green curry paste is a combination of green chilis, ginger, and Thai spices. You can make your own paste or buy it in the grocery store in the Asian foods section or online. I personally love Thai Kitchen brand!

Why is Thai Green Curry Green?

The difference between red curry and green curry paste is the chilis used. Red curry uses dried red chilis whereas green curry uses green chilis. The flavors differ but both taste amazing!

    Super yummy and easy to make. Subbed shredded cabbage for pepper ( what I had on hand). Sauce is heavenly.
    Kudos, Amanda, and thanks!
