For many years, we carried a green curry simmer sauce on our shelves. It was good, as sauces go, but it never really set the world on fire. You see, this sauce had a bit of an identity crisis. It contained some nontraditional ingredients, along with gums, soy, and wheat. So, we set out to create a sauce that would exceed expectations, full of zesty green curry flavor-and in doing so, we were able to provide a better value for our customers. Yay! Without further adieu, allow us to reintroduce Trader Joe's Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce. Our Product Innovator went straight to the source in Thailand to create this Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce. It starts with a base of velvety coconut milk, and an incredibly flavorful, spicy green curry paste. Packed into this paste are shallots, lemongrass, garlic, galangal, coriander seed, Thai lime peel, ginger, turmeric and cumin-all contributing to its savory, aromatic awesomeness. The Sauce is rounded out with rice bran oil, sugar, basil leaf and green chili for just the right amount of heat. To get your fill of Green Curry goodness, sauté a half-pound of your favorite protein or tofu until cooked through. Add an equal amount of vegetables to the pan, and then cover everything in this Sauce. Simmer until hot and vegetables are tender, and then serve over rice or noodles. Enjoy right away, or portion into containers-that's a few days of tasty lunches on your hands, for a fraction of what it would cost for take-away Thai. Or try it in our Green Curry Chickpeas recipe.
