    Hey Ben! Thanks for your feedback and for trying this one out. It sounds like your curry paste could have been a little strong, try using less time next time :)

    Absolutely delicious. I was careful with saltiness after reading others’ comments. I added fried smoked tempeh and it went really well with the aubergine. I’ll definitely have this again, it satisfies my craving for full-on but balanced flavour!

    Similar to what others have said- this is nice but very salty. I followed the recipe (didn’t add anything extra) but next time would miss out the stock.

    Hey Andy! We've amended the salt levels in the recipe previously, but as the saltiness of your particular curry paste, stock or miso could differ between brands, make sure you taste as you go and adjust to your liking.

    Slaps tbh, just be mindful about how salty your stock/miso is and you’ll be fine - added a chicken thigh and it was amazing (and super easy)

    perfect easy savoury meal ! I noted some of the comments saying it was too salty so I dialed back the salt with the stock and miso being the o my salty elements and it was perfect, I also added some green beans

    Hi Gabriela! We've amended the amounts for the miso in hopes to bring some of the saltiness down. This would be because of a few ingredients- depending on the stock, curry paste and miso you use, it would differ. As for the soupy-ness, this is part of a brothy rice collection, so instead of a thick curry sauce, they're a lot looser!

    Agreed. Way too salty! Had to add coconut milk, up the mirin, added some sugar, to balance it all out

    After all the comments about the saltiness, I decided not to put any salt for the entire process - and it worked! The miso paste gives the right umami to the dish, it's very tasty, a proper mid-week comfort dish!

    Hey Josi! Sorry this one wasn't your vibe - to cut back the saltiness you could add a little less miso and reduce the stock you add to the water so it's a little weaker. x

    I made this with blue elephant yellow curry sauce. ( I live in HK so have lots of choice ) it was very tasty but also put gai lan and cavolo nero in the soup. It was lovely. Thanks.

    As other reviewers have said, also ended up being way too salty that it was inedible. Added tons of agave, lime, and yoghurt to it make it edible.

    I made this sauce and ate with the crispy sesame tofu as a change - delicious, high protein and quick dinner. The sauce benefited from a little bit of honey (that may be because of the brand of base sauce I was using).

    Woah there! As one other person said. This is WAY too salty. I really checked carefully and tried not to use any extra salt.

    Hi Chris! Defo check the salt content of your stock and curry paste, that makes a big difference.

    This has become a weekly staple in our house. I learned the spicy way that the Mae Ploy Thai pastes of all varieties have more of a kick than the Supermarket's own brand pastes!

    I'm so happy to hear that Josh! The Mae Ploy curry pastes are real deal, so much more flavourful. We've found that 1-2 tbsps is enough, whereas sometimes you need the whole jar if you're using a supermarket own brand.

    Hi Sasha, we recommend using a high-quality Thai yellow curry paste from a brand such as Mae Ploy. You can find it in lots of international or specialist food stores, or lots of places online.

    Used green curry paste and a tsp of miso (would add more when I needed it) and it was delicious! Lovely little winter warmer for sure.

    We use red curry paste as we don’t have yellow and was very tasty. First time I made it I reduced the stock a bit and it was waaay too salty so, as advised, don’t simmer too long. Next time I make it I’ll add some air fried tofu and some greens - maybe mange tout or green beans or something. Otherwise though this is an ideal weeknight dish.

    I’m unable to find yellow curry paste in any of my local supermarkets- would Thai red curry paste work as an alternative?

    Hi Grace, yep! It will change the flavour and colour but will still be delicious.

    Hi Carlos, thanks for reaching out! The Thai yellow curry paste is listed underneath the garlic cloves (2 tbsp for 4 people). Hope you enjoy!
