About

Thai pastes and chilli jams are an easy cheat for throwing together a quick dinner. Yellow curry paste has a tremendous tangy lemongrass flavour and puts the oomph into these fish parcels. Tom yum paste, nam prik or red curry paste can also be used. I like the Mae Ploy brand. Steam up some fresh green vegetables and rice to make this a more substantial meal.
