Kaeng phak waen with straw mushrooms is very simple as it requires no meat. The nice aroma comes from roasted green chilies. However, some people put fish in making it similar to kaeng phak kat and kaeng phak plang. Some recipes call for just roasted green chilies, no fresh chilies in the chili paste at all. (Saowapha Thakaeo, personal communication, July 4, 2007)

1. Pound together ingredients for chili paste until pulverized.
2. Bring water to a boil and stir in chili paste.

Seasoning with soy sauce will give it a better aroma than with fish sauce.
