When you choose the chili paste to cook Moo Pad Prig Gaeng, you should pick the one with red color. This paste is not spicy at all, but it just has a scary red color. 🙂 I used to eat it a lot when I was young. Look carefully, it is not the same as Pad Ped paste.
Anyway, with the seafood, you should cook it in boiling water first before you stir-fry. 🙂
This is delicious. I added a red pepper and onion. Thank you for the recipe!
