After I make Tom Yummy soup, Irrrve never make use of a spice paste. However I deeply love this Tom Yummy Paste like a marinade. It really works wonders with lots of different chicken, fish and sea food, in addition to pork. Just slather about this flavor-popping paste, then either bake, pan-fry or grill for any dish that sings with authentic Thai taste! The paste is simple to create - just whip up inside your small food-chopper or mixer. It's healthier than store-bought Thai pastes/marinades, and tastes ten occasions better. ENJOY!
