I often cook my Thai food with ready-made curry paste. They have all of the key ingredients such as galangal (Thai ginger), lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and Thai chilies, making it convenient and easy to bring home your favorite Thai flavors. You can also do an all-veggie green curry without any protein. I recommend hearty vegetables such as Asian mushrooms and Japanese eggplant.
