Thai chili paste stir fry with seafood mix is a very hot and spicy dish. The lime leaves and lemon juice work together to give it a distinctly sour tang. In this recipe, we have used a seafood mix, but you can also use pork, chicken, beef, or tofu.
Best served with Thai jasmine rice, this is a great recipe for those who like spicy stir fries with sharp flavors.
As with most Thai recipes, the ingredients below can be adjusted depending on your tastes – particularly when it comes to the number of chilies added. You also try khashlama recipe with beef and potato.
