Concerning Red Curry Paste
Paste is a mixture of fresh herbs, roots, and other components that are crushed and mixed with dry spices to make a paste, as opposed to spice powders. The red curry paste used here, which has overtones of ginger and garlic, is among the most well-liked of the many varieties of curry pastes.
It is not very spicy but has a slight bite. The oil’s greater temperature, which allows the paste to release more flavors from the herbs and spices that wouldn’t come out with simple cooking, is why pastes are often stir-fried with oil.
