Spice Up Your Home-Cooked Meals with Valcom Thai Cooking Pastes

Fragrant, appetising and zesty with balanced robust flavours, Thai cuisine is always a satisfying delight to make and savour at home. Much of it comes down to the paste that gives every dish a distinctive blend of tastes, made with natural spices, herbs and unique condiments. Must-have ingredients include lemongrass, chilli, galangal, tamarind, garlic, turmeric, kaffir lime, dried shrimp and fish sauce. You can certainly make your own Thai curry paste with our recipes, but some core ingredients may prove difficult to find outside of Southeast Asia.
