Handle with care or wear gloves. Usually found at Asian Markets.)or try a combination of crushed to a powder dried asian red peppers (Find dried red peppers at Asian Market and then crush in a mortar and pestle for freshness and hotness. Be careful when crushing half cover mortar w/ one hand while crushing w/ pestle in other hand. Add a little salt if needed to prevent peppers flying to your eyes.). These peppers are often used in Thai/Laotian dishes and are the staple point in hotness in such dishes as papaya salad, a highly popular asian dish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-44882004370065431412012-08-15T00:57:39.742-04:002012-08-15T00:57:39.742-04:00Apparently, there is more than one type of curry p...Apparently, there is more than one type of curry paste. I like extreme heat in my foods. Perhaps it is just my individual taste. I've eaten Thai food here in Southeast Asia, and it has been explosively hot. I loved it. However, the red curry paste I purchased, manufactured in Thailand, was disappointing. I even tripled the amount the second time I made the dish ~still disappointed. Is there a brand name for the paste you are using? I tried a brand called "Suree". Too bad the Thai restaurant I used to frequent here closed down. I could ask them about it.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05565870880613723384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-68306492997802187642012-02-19T22:56:27.599-05:002012-02-19T22:56:27.599-05:00And as i said, I would come back after I make it. ...And as i said, I would come back after I make it.

I did that about 3 yrs. ago and planted it and now have fresh lemongrass all the time. It's super simple to grow, and stands up to any weather, blazing hot to freezing, just likes a lot of water. It can actually be invasive, i.e., grow all over the place unchecked, so try growing it in a large planting pot.Gretchennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-39285718552102661432012-02-19T12:18:27.232-05:002012-02-19T12:18:27.232-05:00This was soooo good on this blustery pre-Mardi Gra...This was soooo good on this blustery pre-Mardi Gras eve day!

What else am I missing if I leave it out? Should I just cut the amount in half?
