¼ cup jarred red curry paste

Whisk in coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Continue to cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture turns darker in color and is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.

Let cool to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight portable container and chill.

Do Ahead: Dip can be made 4 days ahead. Keep chilled.
