curry in a hurry
Aren't these effectively just rice/noodles and some spices, which are cheaper to get separately anyway?
probably if you can make a green curry or red curry from scratch all power to you but for a cooking novice like me this is probably the easiest way
I'm with you! I got excited and checked out the product …. then saw I have to add meat and rice…. gawd! A true ozbargainer would by a jar of sharwoods curry paste from coles for $4 which will last about 40 meals, then add to your own meat and rice. Can't get more cooking simple than this - fry/stew/boil/roast the meat (even toast it?) with a teaspoon of your favourite flavour sharwoods curry paste, boil and drain your rice, and you're salivating in no time. And hard core ozbargainers will cook up a kilo or two of meat (coles $6/kg mince, or something more exotic), a bucket load of jasmine rice (on special at coles 5Kg for dunno… $7?) and make about 10 meals that they can freeze in their decor 900ml oblong containers (on special at coles for $3). Total cost… about $25 for 10 meals, and you now have 5 free storage containers for next time!
(excuse my verbosity, but when I saw the stuck key comment above had earned a negative vote I was horrified!!)
Does Aldi stock them as well???
It's a Wednesday special for this week :)
Pad Thai and San Choy Bow are pretty awesome!
Had the San Choy Bow last night with pork mince and wasn't very impressed. Seemed to lack flavour to me. I bought one of everthing to try them so will see how the rest of them go.
haha I had it last night as well with chicken mince , it was just "ok" , definitely a bit more flavour req but the was a hit with the kids
Obviously you never had Pad Thai before
Haha.. they should call me the pad thai queen… I would say I'm an expert. Nowhere near as good as Thailand, nor a select few restaurants in Melbourne (e.g. Jinda), but surprisingly better than many of my local Thai restaurants.
Anywho each to their own! I balanced out the sauce with extra lime and chilli. Anyone who knows Thai cooking knows the importance of balancing out the sweet, salty, spicy and tangy.
For a meal kit that makes a quick and easy, cheap dinner (cost me $7.00 for 3 large serves), I was really impressed.
After using the San Choy Bow last night I think you would have to be crazy to pay $7.xx for these. I even think $3.72 is pushing it for value since you have to provide most of the ingredients (cost wise) anyway.
these are great for a quick dinner - we personally love the red curry one with chicken pieces, and adding shiitake mushrooms as well is yummo.
If you like a serious kick, chopping up the provided dried chilli will make it really spicy
Probably taste even better if you didn't use those shiit mushrooms.
I stocked up some red and green curry over the weekend. These kits do a really good and simple job of teaching you how to cook curry.
I won't be buying them again. I think I could progress into the next level and that is buying the ingredients myself.
Check out this MasterChef here
Bought the green curry one 50pct off at woolies. Really enjoyed it, will try the rest of the range.
The best one was the malaysian one but it was discontinued a while ago :(
Yah!!! I love the Side-Show Bob kit!!!
i just stocked up on a bunch of these when they were on a sale at woolworths the green curry is pretty good if you ask me
