Again, my jar tells me it is in miniscule amounts as well but I just don't believe their nutritional information is accurate. I have found the red film even when using minimal oil and only veggies. Keep us informed as to what you find out.</p> <p>P.S. This may gross you out but the Asian markets also sell blood (pig,beef)which works great as a thickener for sauces if your game.</p> I have found some great dry curries and korean red chili powder at Asian markets here in socal.

Tell you what, I'll go do a survey of the cans I have currently and do some

The red oil film I get from using the paste always concerns me. I too want to avoid Omega 6 overload and the "little" amount of sunflower oil they claim may be a gross underexageration. I buy coconut milk from an asian store that says the whole can is only 300 cal(I am not sure who is their quality control for Thailand nutritional info).</p> Richard-

We ended up chopping up the caulflower covering it in 1/2 cup eat of mayo and spicy brown mustard and covered that with shredded cheddar. Baked for 20 minutes @ 350. Good simple. Of course homemade mayo would be best and certainly avoid the soybean oil ones if you can.<br /> </p> Thanks, I'll be sure to try it.

I just cut it into chunks and pulse till the texture I want. Then I just put some butter in the large skillet and brown. What was the idea behind the almond meal?</p> <p>I had actually bought a cauliflower to do that with a green curry I made last Thursday but ran out of time before league. I can only find red and green curry paste. Going to have to try some Asian markets.</p> <p>Joe</p> The food processor makes turning the cauliflower into "rice" easy and worth it.

I had actually bought a cauliflower to do that with a green curry I made last Thursday but ran out of time before league. I can only find red and green curry paste. Going to have to try some Asian markets.

Best way is to find an Asian market, and they'll usually have one or two brands. I'm not particular about the brand, but only that the ingredients are correct, i.e., no vegetable oils. Some have a small amount of sunflower oil.</p> I'm out of town and don't have it in front of me at the moment. Best way is to find an Asian market, and they'll usually have one or two brands.

I'm definitely going to have to try making this dish. I like the idea of cauliflower as an ingredient. I will have to look for the masaman paste while I'm here in the city.
