The Aromatic Soul of Thai Cooking: Pastes & Sauces

The sound of a mortar and pestle beating the red curry paste, dropping hot oil, releasing an explosion of fragrance that then fills your kitchen with all those chilies, galangal, and lemongrass—not a street corner, but rather that of Bangkok—at least in your dreams. That luscious pad thai sauce coating those long noodles or tom kha paste dissolving and mixing into rich coconut milk. These are some of the defining moments captured by Foodstories in the Thai Pastes & Sauces collection—all of them reveal the concentrated essence of Thailand in each jar.

Foundation Flavors of Thai Cuisine

The beating heart of Southeast Asian cooking, are these pastes and sauces where nothing more than concentrated flavor bombs have turned simple ingredients into extraordinary meals. They are not just mere condiments but shortcuts built with generations of complex spices, herbs, and aromatics expertly blended into harmonious blends by Thais.

From the spicy curry pastes ground to the umami tastes only fish sauce—fermented in wooden barrels—can give, it tells the tale of the cuisine itself. At Foodstories, we partner with Real Thai and Blue Elephant, upholding not only the traditional methods but modern quality standards.
