I found this recipe bland. I started doctoring it on the stove while it was still cooking. I added 3 times the red curry paste, smoked paprika, yellow curry powder, cayanne powder, and at the table we added soy sauce. It was finally to the point that we liked it. I should also mention that I didn't have zucchini, so I substituted fresh asparagus. I am not one of those people who likes really spicy HOT food, but that is just what it took to make it similar to our Thai restaurant. I didn't read the other reviews, but as I'm writing this the comments above seem to be saying the same thing. Good but it needed kicked up a notch for us. It is a good starting point.

this recipe no flavor whatsoever. I do better thai myself. I had to add oyster sauce, and soy sauce. It was awful.

I was so excited to make this recipe but to my dismay it was "Bland" as the other reviews stated. I used extra fish sauce, minced garlic, two garlic cloves,ginger,cayenne pepper, cilantro,bamboo,zuchini,fire roasted dice garlic tomatoes,potates (boiled them first) and bean sprouts. I even added a sprinkle of salt. I did not have enough courage to add peanut butter as some of the reviews stated. Perhaps someone can share an idea of what else could be missing???

I just made this tonight and it was a let down. It's ok but it's definitely missing something. Next time I think I'll see what the reviews are before I make something.

Definitely a little bland, but was DELICIOUS! Just needed a little salt and some rooster sauce! It really depends how strong you like your food, but I thought this was great :)

The recipe was too bland as written. I added some shredded romano cheese, 2 cans of coconut milk, more curry paste and Sriracha Sauce. Most of my family was happy with it after these additions.

As some other suggested, I changed the recipe a bit; adding some peanut butter, lime juice, garlic, sprouts, and using sesame oil instead of olive oil. Turned out pretty good. Very nice color, though it was thicker than I expected it to be. Will definitely try again.

this recipe is basic and super easy to jazz up! i used maybe double the amount of curry paste, as well as a lot more vegetables, some coriander, and some chili powder. I also used three or four cloves of garlic, and basil instead of cilantro. I served this over thai rice noodles and it was absolutely delicious!

Made this recipe exactly how it says, and were disappointed. The sauce is very bland. We added garlic powder, black pepper, salt, lime, and more curry paste. I still could have used more flavor. Also, we had two people working on this recipe and it took us more like an hour than 20 minutes. If you really want this fast, chop all of the veggies ahead of time.
