Classic Northern Thai Dish Originated from Leftovers

This dish is called gaeng ho, gaeng meaning “curry” and ho means “a mix of stuff”. It might seem strange because this dish is a stir fry and not a curry, but here’s the story. It started out with people repurposing leftover curry, specifically Hung Lay curry, and turned it into a stir-fry by adding veggies and glass noodles. I guess whoever did it first realized this was delicious, so it became widespread and eventually became an established dish.

But You Don’t Need Leftovers to Make It!

If you look for recipes of gaeng ho in Thailand, you’ll see that one of the ingredients required is “hung lay curry.” Yes, technically you need to buy/make another curry before you can make this dish.

While hung lay curry is out-of-this-world delicious and you should make it one day anyway, I’ve come up with a way to enjoy gaeng ho without having to have hung lay curry on hand. The key is using the mix of spices in hung lay curry mixed with store bought red curry paste, which is a great basic paste that I love using as a base for building more complex curries without having to make everything from scratch.
