What's the brand, just curious? Most of the curry pastes I see have some sort of animal product in them.
Yeah most curry pastes contain shrimp paste and fish sauce. If you want a vegan Thai curry, your best bet is to make your own from scratch, since there don’t seem to be any Thai brands marketing a reliably vegan product (reports vary).
Since the very strong salty, complex, umami flavours of fish sauce and shrimp paste are so important to Thai curry you should look for vegan alternatives to them rather than just leaving them out, otherwise you’ll get a very flat flavour.
Check out this guide to common Thai pantry staples, which includes some vegan options as needed (many of them are already vegan).
Thank you for the info. I have become curious how vegans manage their diet in a very animal product centric world.
Aroy-d doesn't have anything weird in their red or green curry pastes, no fish.
You can always make your own though! This recipe is not vegan because of shrimp paste, but they mention good vegan options and it's a solid recipe otherwise:
