  1. Great recipe, I didn't have any of the fish paste so I used some fermented shrimp paste instead. Also morning glory instead of capsicum and roast chicken instead of tofu.
    Used homemade chicken stock instead of soup base and did not need any extra liquid because of this.
    The combination of red curry and tomyum paste is really nice.
    Can't wait to be back in Thailand this June so I can eat similar food every meal.
    Cheers from New Zealand!
