There isn’t anything traditional about this bowl, but its fast and it tastes good so here we are. I whipped it up using ingredients that have been hiding in my pantry, and it was so good it became blog worthy! Best part, it comes together in just under 30 minutes!
I absolutely love Thai Kitchen’s curry pastes. They are super flavorful, easy to use and have a clean label. This little jar is a serious game changer, I always have it in the house for last minute dinners like this! Here’s the link:
