I watch this Thai chef on YouTube (Hot Thai Kitchen) and her advice for curry paste is ‘do not buy Thai Kitchen’ green curry paste, it is incredibly weak and bland and she would only cook with that for someone who can’t eat spice.

(For context, Thai Kitchen is the one you can get at Whole Foods / Safeway, has a dramatic ‘oriental Asian typeface’ as a label, and I agree with her assessment of this product. I once cooked with it the first time I left SE Asia (it’s often the only product available), and I was so mad I wanted to bang the tables and throw it away.
(I get Mae Ploy. It is not vegan. I don’t really like other types / brands of curry paste. It’s either Mae Ploy or homemade for me)
I really think her videos are some of the best resources for teaching how to cook Thai food in English

@skinnylatte My local asian whole saler sells a bunch of curry pastes - all sorts like massaman, panang, red curry, green curry - from the brand Jarome Curry Pastes.
I think they're pretty good, at least they're miles and miles ahead of whatever you can get in regular grocery shops.

@skinnylatte I also used to do my own home made curry pastes, but then I had three kids and job and a house and and and.
The curry paste started to look a lot more appealing by then.
