Greetings ChefCommons many thanks indeed for your feedback. We are delighted that you have embeded our video on your site. We are going to get a lot more active with our web site. I did a 'Knife Skills' demo which I videod last weekend. I will be uploading it this week. Thanks for your support and enthusiasm

Appreciate the recipe, but I found it kind of hard to hear, especially with all the background noise. Maybe tape all of it silent and record the voice over later?

[antheaskitchen]

Thanks for your comment bloodwatcher. That's a great idea. The only problem is I don't know how to do that but I will go and learn

Once again, thank you

looks delicious. this vid inspired me to plant my own lemongrass and chiles and buy a mortar and pestle. It's nice to see some people still make food the traditional way.

[antheaskitchen]

Thanks for the feedback. It's great that you got much out of it. We have been a bit in-active over that summer months (southern hemisphere summer that is), but we are about to start our demonstrations again and will be up loading them real soon.

I always have problem pounding the lemon grass to a pulp. Any tips?

[antheaskitchen]

Yes!

Because lemon grass is so fibrous it just won't pound to a pulp. The best things I can suggest is to finely shredd the lemon grass before pounding in the mortar & pestile.That way, it's very mich more palletable

I'm doing a catering course and i loved the fresh tia green chicken curry i had once from asda but they don't sell them no more, it was like a lovely thick creamy green paste with mini corn in it too, i want to really make this.

[emmabee11]

@antheaskitchen You can do that easily just get a something that records sound good then in edition (you can do this even with windows movie maker) mute the sound of the video then add in the sound recording, or you could just get a little high quality microphone for your camera to clip onto it.

i think he used the shrimp paste at the end of the vid. looks good! "Gin Kow"

[goodrl]

Very well done. I love the vibrant color of you paste. I'm curious as to why you choose to use salt verse shrimp paste or did you use shrimp paste and I just didn't catch it? I as a Thai cook in a small Thai restaurant, I can appreciate the pounding of the curry paste verse blending.
