I got this to make an easy meal while traveling. It’s convenient but pretty flavorless. Not spicy at all and needs a lot of extra salt. Trader Joe’s frozen Thai curries are much better.

For many years, we carried a green curry simmer sauce on our shelves. It was good, as sauces go, but it never really set the world on fire. You see, this sauce had a bit of an identity crisis. It contained some nontraditional ingredients, along with gums, soy, and wheat. So, we set out to create a sauce that would exceed expectations, full of zesty green curry flavor—and in doing so, we were able to provide a better value for our customers. Yay! Without further adieu, allow us to reintroduce Trader Joe’s Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce. Our Product Innovator went straight to the source in Thailand to create this Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce. It starts with a base of velvety coconut milk, and an incredibly flavorful, spicy green curry paste. Packed into this paste are shallots, lemongrass, garlic, galangal, coriander seed, Thai lime peel, ginger, turmeric and cumin—all contributing to its savory, aromatic awesomeness. The Sauce is rounded out with rice bran oil, sugar, basil leaf and green chili for just the right amount of heat.
Ingredients

This Thai green curry sauce was pretty good. I was really hoping for a stronger flavor though. I should have added some additional green curry paste or more curry powder or something else to enhance it. It was just a little too bland for me, if I’m being honest. The stir fry vegetables and garbanzo beans I added definitely made it a lot better. I’ll probably just stick with one of Trader Joe’s frozen curry meals or just simmer up some green curry paste, coconut milk & spices next time. Cool quick & easy option though. • • #thaigreencurry #traderjoes #veganin2022 #veganiseasy
A good option to add flavor to vegetables but you have to pay attention to the amount of sodium and calories. Very high! Ok once in a while for some.
Used this over rice and veggies during a camping trip. Made an excellent easy quick meal. A bit spicy but not too bad.
This is a really nice, inexpensive sauce to have on hand. I really liked that it wasn’t too spicy. The dish I made it with had mainly carrots and chickpeas and I think the carrots helped to make it a bit sweet as well so be mindful of the potential flavor changes with different ingredients, (obviously). I’d like to try this sauce out again, especially a freshly purchased jar because, I’ll admit, I totally forgot about this in my cabinets for a couple of years before I finally remembered it decided to use it. 😬💁🏼♀️🍛
