I had my doubts about this one (tuna and red curry paste?), but I had some leftover red curry paste and I've had good results following your recipes, so I gave it a shot. It came out quite good! Thank you Palin. You balanced the flavors just right for my taste.

As you said, I can make this any time from on-hand ingredients and that's a big plus. I'm going to experiment adding different things to it.

Thanks again for this recipe and many others.

If I don't have a mortar and pestle, turmeric root or shrimp paste and use fresh ground black pepper, turmeric powder and fish sauce, then would I just add the pepper and turmeric and curry paste straight from the can/tub in step 1?

An excellent dish in the Chinese tradition I'm used to of 'Stuff over Rice'.

I didn't have any fermented shrimp paste (well, I did, but it had been in the back of the fridge for too long and, well, I swear it was moving) so I smooshed up a few anchovies and it still wanted a teaspoon or so of fish sauce at the end.

So very good. Thank you, Pailin.

In reply to Slow Fingers Bob. Absolutely! Any kind of shredded up protein will work!

In reply to Kat. Would shredded chicken or canned chicken work with this recipe as a substitute for Tuna?

This was a very nice, recipe, but I ran into trouble with the salt levels of store-bought red curry paste, which vary wildly. I used a paste with 11.8% salt - Cock Brand - and that along with shrimp paste but no added fish sauce made the end result too salty to be eaten as a main (2-3% salt in final product). By the time I realized it was already too late, but using homemade or other brands with much lower salt levels (saw some at 5%), would fix the issue.

Thank you so much for this unique recipe! I love that I can make it in 5 minutes with just pantry ingredients and a couple fresh herbs! It is SO spicy with homemade curry paste, but I tried it once with storebought Maesri paste and it wasn’t as good. So I suffer with a tall glass of water. I find myself craving this once a week now either with plain sticky rice or on top of my congee.

In reply to Michael Kramer. So glad to hear! Dried lime leaves are a bit tricky to use, so in this recipe, I would grind it up into a powder and toss it into the stir fry. For soups you can break them into smaller pieces and let them simmer and rehydrate in the soup.

Hello - I discovered Hot Thia Kitchen several months ago on YouTube and this is one of my favorite dishes! I have also made this with ground turkey breast - delicious!

Our local Asian grocery store recently ran out of fresh lime leaves, so I purchased dried lime leaves instead. Can anyone tell me how I might apply dried lime leaves in this recipe (and in general)?

Thanks!

Do you think this will work with canned salmon?

In reply to Kat. Make it for him, and don't tell him it's tuna. The curry, lemongrass and lime leaf flavors are so strong you don't taste fish.

I love all your recipes, but this one... wow! So much flavour and so easy to make. A dish I can put together at any time, as long as I keep some cans of tuna in stock. Other ingredients like the lemon grass and tumeric I have on stock in the freezer.

Second time now I made it, and it's so great. Thanks!
