if youre looking for heat (like you like the flavor but just want more heat) you can just add peppers...or you can try increasing the amount of paste (if you want more flavor as well) you use...

or both

Type of pepper for best results?

thai chilis most likely (green)

or maybe jalapenos


anything good n fresh, to whatever heat level you want

i would wait to confirm with fire me boy tho, he sounds like he knows his shit....

I would use whatever green hot chili was freshest like thai or jalapeno if you have those in your garden

edit: if you have a mexican market , serano (sp?) chilis are very very good...I have used them alot in different recipes.....and theyre tasty and can be hot if you use a few

Heh. Not more or less than anyone else that's a fan of Thai food. You're right, green Thai chilies or jalapenos. The green Thai would be best.

FWIW i almost always double or even quadruple the paste called for on container....

and THEN add some chilis if needed....


of course by doing this, it unbalances things a little, so u need more fish or oyster sauce, and a little more brown sugar or honey too, and maybe a bit more cocnut milk...... just add more paste and get it back to balanced and then add your hot chilis if it isnt hot enough and let it blend...

thats how i do it anyway

My favorite thing to do with Thai food is let the carrots soak overnight in the curry sauce.

They get all soft and delicious and INFUSED.

I used to masturbate, but never used baked goods

also you probly do this but you can stoke out the pastes by adding more than just chilis...add a huge handful of fresh basil / cilantro for a green curry , etc.. whatevers fresh..like lemon grass or some citrus zest or green onions , ginger......or some of the other ingredients...just to kick it off a bit more

I like using a little honey too...with the brown sugah

I had red curry chicken prepared Thai hot for the first time tonight. Not that hot. I've made my chili spicier, had spicier chicken wings, and had hotter chinese food.

I've been ramping up the hotness at three different Thai restaurants across town the last few months. I can tell already that none of them are going to make it that spicy. Is it possible for a whole town to mild on the spiciness?
