suegha Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I bought some Tom Yam paste (Mae Ploy Brand) and would like to use it. Does anyone have any suggestion as to what to do with it? Should I just use it as I do curry paste? Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambinA Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Do you mean , you will use "tom yum paste" for cooking curry? As I know , you can use "tom yum paste" for cooking -Tom yum ( with shrimp/seafood/chicken/mushroom..ect) -Tom Kha Gai (chicken soup with coconut milk) (or other meat ,mushroom) anyway .. dont put lemon juice in the boiling soup ..it will make a better taste... Just add the lemon juice when the soup is in bowl before eating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realthaideal Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Mae Ploy Paste is alright if you're outside of THailand, otherwise not that spectacular. - The best are made by your favorite vendor in the local markets. - It's overall taste is a little strong on salt and galangal for me. Most tom yam pastes in THailand have alot more use of hom daeng and namtaan (shallots n palm sugar respectively), making it much more tasty and delicate as an addition to a soup. When I use the mae ploy stuff though, for a Thai take on things, I like to marinate some chicken or pork with a rub of it, some fish sauce, and some sugar. This makes for some fine grilled meat the next day ! The Thais don't do it this way, it's a fusion thing admittedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
