This Mango Sauce/Dip is very easy to make, and wonderful tasting. A little coconut milk helps enhance the mango flavor and create a very tropical tasting sauce. Use it as a dip for cooked shrimp (great with coconut shrimp!), or whatever appetizers you happen to be serving up. You can also use this mango sauce in stir-fries, such as mango chicken or shrimp stir fry. ENJOY!
Thai green curry paste is surprisingly easy to make. Added to meat dishes as well as seafood or noodles, this paste will create a wide range of Thai dishes that are certain to please. Use right away or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
This Thai red curry paste is red hot. Check your spice-o-meter when preparing this paste, adding less fresh chilli if you prefer milder dishes. Red curry paste makes for excellent Thai food, including meat, chicken, and seafood curries, vegetarian curries, or noodles.
Although you can buy the famous Thai chili paste "nam prik pao" already prepared of you in most Asian food stores, I prefer making my own homemade version, which is much healthier and oh so tasty!
Thai yellow curry paste is so versatile, you'll want to try it with a variety of meat, seafood, noodle and soup recipes. This fragrant yellow curry paste makes Thai food easy to cook, and quick as well, especially if you make the paste ahead of time and keep it on hand in the refrigerator.
While most Western versions of Thai peanut sauce are made with peanut butter, this recipe starts with real peanuts - and you'll taste the difference! At the same time, it's super easy and quick to make. This peanut sauce can be used for a variety of purposes, from a dip for veggies to a sauce for chicken sate or a cold noodle salad.
Thai Red Curry and Penang Curry are similar. The difference is that the Penang version carries with it flavors from distant places - Malaysia, Burma, India (Penang is a state in northern Malaysia). Try this homemade red curry recipe with beef, chicken, tofu, wheat gluten, or beans and vegetables - you'll love its aroma and unique blend of flavors!
Massaman curry hails from the south of Thailand. Similar to Malaysian curries, and with some similarities to Indian, Thai Massaman curry has an abundance of warm spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. With lemongrass, fish sauce, and other classic Thai ingredients added, this curry is brimming with all the flavor and richness of Asian cuisines.

This homemade Thai BBQ Sauce Recipe really is the best, plus it's easy to make. It's dark, tangy-sweet, and a little spicy in flavor, and will give your meats, chicken, fish or seafood, or just plain old burgers that delicious summer BBQ taste you're looking for. My husband loves equally well on both salmon and steak - he even warms up a little extra and has it on the side with rice! If you don't have fish sauce, just use a little extra soy sauce, and enjoy this Easy Thai BBQ Sauce recipe!
