Wow!

Here's mine...

They had a few at Morelo's Market but the quality was terrible. The bowls had lots of holes in them for food to get trapped in. The IMUSA brand one I got in Las Vegas at La Bonita Market was smoothish on the bottom and had ridges to grind against on the sides. I'll have to find another like that.

We make them from the "True Thai" cookbook. Author is a Thailand born chef who came to the States. My DH has made most of the ones in the book except the really ones because I can't handle that heat.

Can you post the ISBN number please?

I googled and realised I got that book as well
It's pretty good.
OK I will admit to having a lot of Thai and Indonesian cookbooks.
And I am suddenly remembering another good website Thai Recipe Index – Kasma Loha-unchit

I ordered this mortar and pestle but it might not get here for another 6 weeks!

You can use your small one to try out small batches and get your recipe right
I use my pestle and mortars very often

Morelo's has a pretty good, for Rome GA, selection of spices leaning in the Mexican/Latino/Hispanic direction.

Since I don't have a good mortar set yet I got these for a start.

So what’s the first thing I should cook using my newly acquired gluten free Gochujang?

Dried lemongrass is a bit bland compared to the fresh stuff, so increase kaffir lime rind or leaves, or even add lime peel/zest

Yeah, that lemongrass was a bust. I recall getting fresh at the Thai market and this is trash. Even chewing on a piece was nada. I think the gentian root I've got for making bitters has more *bang* than the grass.

Agree though on more lime parts.
