Key Ingredients

  • tofu
  • potato
  • massaman paste
  • coconut milk
  • roasted peanuts

Where to Try It

Vegan Thai restaurants and Jay festival stalls; also available at most curry houses on request.

Tips

  • Request tofu and vegetables if ordering at a standard Thai restaurant — massaman sauce's mild spice profile works wonderfully without meat.
