They make the northern thai crispy-pork kind and it’s really phenomenal. I had made this at home when I grabbed a random selection of Maesri can pastes, and quite liked it, until I had it at Sticky Rice. I haven’t made this version yet but have bookmarked the page to try next time my CSA gives me green beans.

Thanks! Barbara,

It is usually a disappointment. The best Thai restaurants I have ever been to are in Ithaca, NY and Providence, RI. When we lived in Providence, the cook at Siam Square SPOILED us for Thai food. On the other hand, I learned a lot just from eating her food--because I learned great flavor balance from her, and after eating there often, I learned to emulate her cooking style. But since then--eh, I have found very few Thai restaurants that I really, really love. Most of them are only okay. So I cook a lot on my own. Canned pastes--they are not my favorite, really. Mae Ploy brand is pretty good, though--they are packed in resealable plastic tubs, and I do keep a tub of red curry paste from that company in my fridge in case I need to make a quickie curry or something. That brand has a much fresher taste than any others I have tried. Sarah–I don’t go to many Thai restaurants anymore, now that I cook Thai food at home. It is usually a disappointment.
