What's more maddening than tracking them down is using them fast enough to be economical and not be wasteful.



You can find a lot of these things at foreign markets and certainly on the internet. But opening the jar commits you almost exclusively to a culinary lifestyle for a month or two, or throwing out 90% of the jar.



MoF, I think I've complained about just this thing before.

But if you're interested start at your local farmer's market [if major metro such as KC or Soulard]. Ask the spice vendors about other markets they sell to nearby.

That's pretty much a variation of how we make it...but a couple comments:



Some use cashews, most do use peanuts...personally I do cashews or skip it.



I don't see fish sauce mentioned, but depending on what paste you use you may need fish sauce. Personally I have started using oyster sauce, in place of fish.



Brand of paste makes a big difference. If you can't get your recipe how u like, switch to a different brand. Kang matsaman....or maybe aeng



Balance can be tricky. I see lime juice in that recipe, but didn't see what they use for sweet. Most pastes will need some sweet. With massaman I like honey, agave or brown sugar. I tend to find more sweet needed....than most recipes call for...



That's all I got for now, I usually keep massaman simple - onion, potato, chicken or beef plus the sauce



Hope it turns out the way you want!

Good stuff, thank you. I've got some palm sugar on hand, which I think would be authentic. And I like cashews over peanuts, too - that's how my local Thai place does it. They also said their "secret" is a little peanut butter in the sauce.

I can handle the chicken, onion, and potato just fine. That ****ing sauce is the bane of my existence right now, so I appreciate the feedback. Will rep you when I get to a real computer.

I like the kang matsaman because its only like 1 cup, and it comes in 2 separate 1/2 cup pouches.... And each pouch is like perfect for a big pot full



Cheers

I'll try to track down some recipes that aren't so 'open spout and pour' intensive.

When I find a really good Asian dish, I just go to the restaurant. I've never come close to nailing one.

My current favorite is drunken noodle, spice level 5, at a Thai place close to campus. It starts out with a comforting warmth, but builds as I make my way through the dish. By the time I get to the end, I'm blowing my nose every three bites, and wiping my eyes continuously. By far the best place in town to get my hot fix.

How often would you use that to 1) justify the expense 2) have to toss out due to shelf life being up? It's 16 ozs.

Is it possible to that in bulk anywhere so you can control your quantity and freshness?

I'd also love to hear other recipes that are starch free, and involve lean proteins.

Except that taters are all starch, and carrots are one of the veggies highest in starch. I'd just season it well, grill it, serve with a spinach/tomato salad and some wild rice. The wild rice has starch but it is waaaay better than other rices and has a real nice natural nutty taste.

Doing a little research, looks like this stuff will keep in the pantry or fridge even after opened for several months. It's pretty acidic.

So for $7, I'm willing to waste it if it's not the right recipe. If it is, I'll use it making Massaman all the time.

Not really for dinner, but I made a cheater little electric smoker out of a trashcan with a heating element, some grates, racks, and rods for meat sticks. I probably wouldn't ever smoke a butt or ribs or something on it. I really made it for quick and easy smokes, like sausage, fish, etc.

Anyhow, here are a bunch of awesome tasting venison meat sticks on my first smoke with it the other day. Amazing. The little thing held 225 degrees for two hours, which, I expected, being electric and all. And yes, I know that you shouldn't cook on galvanized metal, but that is only if you expect temperatures above 700degress, which I'll never even get close to with my electric element in there.
