This Mae Ploy Green Curry Paste is a proper Thai pantry staple for anyone who loves big flavour with less fuss.
Made with classic Thai aromatics like green chilli, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, galangal, shallots, and coriander root, it delivers that fresh, fragrant green curry flavour with a mild to medium heat and beautiful herbal depth.
Yes, it makes a brilliant green curry — but that’s only the start. This 1L size is ideal for regular cooks because you can use it across curries, stir-fries, marinades, soups, sauces, dips, and more.
This isn’t a “one recipe” ingredient — it’s a flavour workhorse.
A little goes a long way, so one tub can stretch across:
If you cook Thai-style dishes regularly (or want to), this is the kind of bulk buy that saves money and makes weeknight cooking easier.
The obvious favourite — add coconut milk, protein, and veg for a quick, comforting curry.
Use a spoonful in the wok with noodles, veg, and your protein for a fast Thai-style stir-fry.
Mix with a little oil or coconut cream and use as a marinade for chicken, prawns, fish, or tofu.
Stir into stock or coconut broth to build flavour fast for soups and noodle bowls.
Whisk a small amount into mayo, yoghurt, or dressings for a Thai-inspired twist.
Dollop sparingly as a flavour base (instead of tomato) for something a bit different.
Portion it out after opening.
Keep a small amount in the fridge for weekly use, then freeze the rest in small containers or ice cube trays. That way you’ve always got Thai flavour ready to go without wasting a thing.
Mild to Medium — a noticeable kick, but not overpowering.
If you prefer a gentler heat, soften it with:
50g paste to 200g protein
(Adjust to taste depending on the dish and how strong you like it.)
