Ughhh, is everyone feeling off today because of Daylight Savings? Why does that exist? I had such a hard time waking up this morning and now I feel a bit disoriented. At least the sun won’t set until after dinner, which is always a good thing for a food blogger like me. Natural light > artificial light when it comes to food photography.

So good! Husband, 7- and 3-year-old and I all loved it. I reduced the curry paste to 3 Tbsp and left out the fish sauce because I use Mae Ploy paste and it is much stronger than Thai Kitchen. (Next time I would omit the black pepper too because it was a little too much for the kids.) I love when instant pot recipes are this simple and don’t require browning or extra steps. Will definitely be adding this to the rotation, thanks!!
So glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for leaving a review.
