Don't be afraid to adjust the heat: Red curry paste can be quite spicy, so feel free to adjust the amount you use to your own taste. You can also add a bit of sugar or coconut milk to help balance out the heat.
Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce for at least 15 minutes will help to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce.
