Tips and Tricks

• Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs to find your favorite combination.
• If you like your curry spicier, add more curry paste or some chopped chili peppers.
• If you're using meat, make sure to cut it into bite-sized pieces so it cooks evenly.
• Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a bit of crunch.
• Try different vegetables to keep things interesting. You can use anything from eggplant to snow peas.
• If you're using tofu, make sure to press it first to remove excess water. This will help it brown better.
