To use, simply open one or more paste shots and add them directly to your pan when sautéing aromatics like garlic and onions. Stir the paste for a minute until fragrant, allowing its complex flavors to bloom. Then, add your main ingredients, such as vegetables, meat, or tofu, along with coconut milk or other liquids to create a delicious curry. You can adjust the number of shots used based on your desired level of heat and flavor intensity. For a milder dish, start with one shot and add more if needed.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike larger jars of curry paste that can lose potency over time once opened, these individual shots maintain their vibrant flavor and aroma. The precise portioning also eliminates the need to measure from a large container, ensuring consistent results in your cooking.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused paste shots in their original packaging in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it is best to use the contents immediately. Ensure the packaging is sealed to preserve freshness if not fully consumed.
