"Hi Mary,
It has lots of sodium, but the amount used in the finished product is minimal. That curry paste recipe makes a lot of paste. You only use 2-6 tblspn pf the paste when making the actual curry and that makes many servings- so teh amount in…"

"Fish Sauce is salty and stinky, but wonderful mixed in with stuff. I try a different brand whenever I buy it (it lasts me forever). Last time I got theTropics brand. The fish sauce will be your main salty component. If you decide to use shrimp paste…"

"Hi Mary!
You got it! Lee Lee's has the stuff. The galanga is really hard, sometimes I cheat and use ginger- the flavor is different, but I still think it's very good.
I usually leave the shrimp paste out ans salt to taste after fish sauce. For this…"

Hi Heather, I read your comments on the "Kosher" thread, which they have now closed for comments... I am not a Jew, I'm a Christian, but as a result I have read the Old Testament extensively. The discussion of whether it makes sense to update and change Kosher dietary laws as our technology improves and we understand more things from a scientific standpoint is an interesting one, and one I really don't know. I guess that is up to the Rabbi's and their congregations to discuss...One idea I wanted to offer you, and would have on the thread, is to consider that the Kosher and dietary rules, really the whole "Law" have symbolic and metaphorical significance as well. So yes, deeming one animal "unclean" and others "clean" may not make sense to us in the modern day, but those laws were also used as spiritual symbols to the Jews. Unclean was symbolic of sin. Hand washing was symbolic for reverence and redemption. Judaism is very rich in symbolism and tradition and it truly has brought that group of people through some of the most horrific and terrible circumstances time and time again...in that sense, it has "worked" very well.
My policy has always been that belief and tradition (as long as they are chosen by the individual or group and not oppressively forced,) ought to be respected especially by people outside of that belief or religion.
I hope you recieve my reply in the spirit in which it is intended, and that is one of open dialouge and simply offering another perspecive. :)
