Thanks for trying the recipe and for sharing your thoughts! I totally understand that every family has different taste preferences, especially when it comes to spice levels. This sauce is on the mild side for most, but I know even a little bit of curry paste can feel bold if you’re used to very subtle flavors. If you’d like to adjust it in the future, you could try reducing the tomato paste slightly and using just a teaspoon of curry paste for an even milder flavor. I appreciate your feedback and hope you find other recipes on my site that are a great fit for your family!

I hate critiquing recipes but the sauce just did not work for me. Too much tomato taste and it was a bit spicy for my kiddos even without the red pepper flakes.

@Jenni, I did a little bit of salt but followed otherwise the recipe really closely and my kids loved it! Will definitely keep doing this!

You get all the salt you need from the fish sauce! However, if you feel you need more salt, feel free to sprinkle some salt over the dish when you sit down to the table.
