If you follow this blog, you know that I recently discovered WorldFoods (from my mie goreng post) and am working with them on a couple of recipes.
Previously, I posted a Cambodian Lemongrass Shrimp recipe.
This is another recipe that I would like to share with you using another WorldFoods ready-made sauce—Thai Coconut Galangal Stir-Fry Sauce. This sauce is a blend of coconut milk spiced with galangal, lemongrass, tamarind and chilies. It’s mild but creamy so it’s great for any protein.
I used it to make a combination seafood dish, with shrimp, scallop, and squid…
When it comes to cooking, I am not a purist, meaning, I cook with store-bought sauces and spice paste quite a bit, but I am really picky.
I use products that are high quality and promise great flavor. I really like this sauce because it tastes distinctively Thai, and it’s made from 100% natural ingredients.
I also like it that I can doctor up the sauce by adding extra ingredients and seasonings.
We all enjoyed this Thai Coconut Galangal Seafood very much, in fact, it tastes almost like a Thai red curry.

Omg I love anything with seafood. This looks really mouthwatering. By the way, I copied your steamed fish with ginger scallion sauce recipe. It was a hit! Thanks for sharing

What a toothsome dish!! I love love Thai food. This recipe seems so easy to do. But how do you make the sauce from scratch? Because what if I can’t find it from where I am? :/
ah hong
Tempting and delicious with great recipe details. I should try to cook this one in next weekend.

Galangal is a reason to use a pre-fab paste in many locations as Galangal can be pretty hard to find. While I can usually find it in my local specialty grocers, it’s not guaranteed to be available.

That looks delicious, it is good to know that there are nice short cuts available when I don’t have time to make the dish from scratch. Thanks for sharing :)

I am salivating over enjoying a bowl of this with a big heap of steaming hot rice. Just the ticket after all those rich dishes from last night at Thanksgiving. Happy holidays to you and your family!

With this phone, I am apble to be up to date with this site no matter where I have to work. No longer need to rush home to get onto my puter. Thank you for this site. I miss my Singapore food and has been pretty much “gasak buta” and “agak agak” he dishes.

Hi there, been following U quite some time now but never left a Hi note. But I’ve linked RasaMalaysia at my blog from day one I started blogging! This would be my first ever comment here. That bowl of seafood sure a treat to my dear Hubby. He just loves seafood, unlike me a chickenlover. ;)
But I’ll take the gravy, leaving the seafood alone. Simply droolworthy dish! :D

Glad to know there’s someone Asian who’s also not a purist, hee, hee. We all have moments when we resort to using store bought sauces, esp. when you’re tired, bad tempered and hungry! I’ve not heard or noticed WorldFoods, wonder if it’s available in Miami at Whole Foods? We don’t have Trader Joe or good Asian supermarkets. Help, now I want it! I shouldn’t have looked at this before going to bed, Bee. I’m HUNGRY, my tummy is growling.

You can go to WorldFoods and check out if it carries the products, if not, you can always buy online. :)

Could you use Coconut milk if you can find coconut cream??
Rasa Malaysia
Yes.

Thank you Rasa. I made this tonight and it was absolutley delish!!! The perfect amount of spice. Loved it and so did my husband. I made your Pad thai recipe the other night and loved it too. I am hooked and have shared your website with all my friends. Is there one recipe that is your favorite? I am looking foward to trying others. Thank you for your response!

I cant get fresh galangal anyways. So I opt for great store-bought sauces, so long the sodium content isn’t high. This looks so delish, I need to try this brand.

Ready-made sauce or not, this dish looks so good! Drooling. It must be very good with rice.
