Yellow Chicken Curry

D.Schmidt
Although I prefer to cook my own curries from scratch, I know there are those times when I'd rather be doing something else. Or perhaps I'm too tired to start making a curry paste at 7 o'clock at night. For those times, it's a relief to have a ready-made sauce or paste on hand, taking the labor (but not the joy) out of cooking Thai food. But it's often difficult to find products that taste anything remotely like Thai food. If this has also been your experience, read on.

Thai Curry Sauces

Curry Simple.com offers a wide range of Thai curry sauces that can be ordered online at any time. Choose from green, red, yellow, or Massaman curry sauces, all of which are fresh and incredibly delicious. These sauces taste so good because they're actually made in Thailand. Personally, I didn't think anything could compare to my own homemade Thai curries, but these sauces come very close. Of all the ready-made sauces I've tried, they're definitely the best and freshest on the market - and the most authentic. Just add your choice of meat and/or vegetables, and you've got a Thai curry that will satisfy the most discriminating of tastes.

Pad Thai Sauce

Pad Thai Noodles

Do you sometimes crave a plate of Pad Thai noodles, but can't quite summon the energy to make them? Then you'll love the ready-made Pad Thai sauce available from Curry Simple.com. All you need to do is stir-fry some veggies (like snow peas, bell peppers, and beansprouts) and shrimp (or chicken), boil some rice noodles (which only takes a matter of minutes) and add the sauce. It's almost as easy as instant noodles, but with so much more flavor, plus the nutrition of fresh ingredients.

Thai Stir-fry Sauce

Feel like having an Asian-style stir-fry dish, but not quite sure what sauce(s) to use? Then try Curry Simple's Thai stir-fry sauce. It makes stir-frying a cinch, and your family and friends will be impressed with the flavor (no need to order stir-fries from your local Chinese take-out any longer!).

Thai Iced Tea

Thai-style Iced Tea
If you enjoy iced tea, but have been disappointed by those ready-made mixes sold at your local grocery store, you might want to try this product. Thai tea has the classic taste of orange pekoe "steeped" style tea. This Thai tea product comes in liquid instead of powdered form, so there's no need for a lot of mixing and shaking about. Just pour a little of the concentrated tea into a tall glass, then add water, ice, and a little cream or milk, as desired.
