This is good, but it is much better with fish sauce and some sliced jalapenos. Fish sauce add the rich/savory/salt and jalapenos a little kick. Perfect!

I liked and appreciated the basis for this recipe but if you are like me and need/want some heat definitely use the fish sauce, salt, green chiles and Sriracha sauce for that extra kick. I just kept adding a little till I found the perfect heat. Perfect!! Thank you!

If you use 1/3 cup of Ma Ploy green curry paste, it would probably knock your socks off. That stuff is HOT....and delicious.

This recipe was OK. A bit bland for my liking. To add more of a "kick" to this recipe, add two chopped FRESH green chiles. That should about do the trick.

Thanks a lot.

I've heard of other people replacing the salt with fish sauce - I have both on hand, but was wondering which is more authentic? Green curry with chicken street food in Bangkok was one of my favorite meals ever! Great site!
