Bring Authentic Thai Heat to Your Kitchen – Final Clearance Sale!

This is our final stock available at a special bargain price as we conclude sales for this item. With an expiration date of May 2, 2026, it is the perfect time to stock up your pantry with these professional-grade pastes.
The Ultimate 3-Tub Value Pack
2x Green Curry Paste (400g): The classic "Sweet Green" heat made with fresh green chilies and lemongrass.
1x Yellow Curry Paste (400g): A milder, turmeric-heavy blend that is incredibly fragrant and family-friendly.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Curry
While the Japanese instructions provide a great baseline, here is how to make it like a pro:
Fry the Paste First: Always fry the paste in a little oil or the thick "cream" from the top of your coconut milk before adding other liquids. This releases the essential oils and develops a deeper aroma.
The Coconut Essential: Remember that coconut milk is not included in this pack.
Balance the Flavor: Thai cooking is about balance. If it’s too spicy, add a bit more sugar; if it needs more depth, a splash of fish sauce (nam pla) works wonders.
Creative Ways to Use Leftovers
With 400g per tub, you might have some left over. These pastes are incredibly versatile beyond just soup:
Thai Stir-fry: Use a tablespoon of Green Curry paste as a base for a spicy chicken and basil stir-fry.
Marinades: Mix the Yellow Curry paste with yogurt to create a delicious marinade for grilled chicken skewers.
Spicy Fried Rice: Toss a teaspoon of paste into your fried rice for an instant flavor upgrade.
Storage: Once opened, keep the inner bag tightly sealed in the tub and store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for months.

"The Green Curry is legitimately spicy—just like in Thailand! A huge win for anyone who misses real heat."
"Overseas Review: Mae Ploy is the most consistent brand for home cooks. The 400g tubs are great because they actually last, unlike those tiny 50g packets."
