Chili Paste with Fermented Fish - 90 g
Chili Paste with Fermented Fish is a traditional spicy paste with roots in the cuisine of northeastern Thailand, also known as the Isaan region. The paste is composed of dried chili and fermented gourami fish in equal proportions, complemented by tamarind, garlic, onion, and sugar, which together create a complex and deep flavor profile. Fish sauce based on anchovy extract and shrimp paste further contribute to the umami-rich character that distinguishes this type of Asian spice paste. The consistency is thick and pasty, making it easy to portion and mix into hot and cold dishes. The taste is intense, salty, and slightly sour with a distinct heat from the chili, appealing to those who appreciate authentic Asian taste experiences. The paste can be used as an ingredient in soups, wok dishes, and sauces, or it can be served as a dip alongside fresh or steamed vegetables and cooked rice. It is also suitable for marinades and as a base in spicy dressings. The product comes in a practical plastic container with a lid, making storage and portioning easy. Store in a dark, dry, and cool place to best preserve taste and quality. With a protein content of 22.2 g and a fiber content of 12.5 g per 100 g, the paste is nutritious relative to its use as a condiment. The salt content is high, which is characteristic of fermented fish products. The paste is aimed at food enthusiasts and chefs interested in Southeast Asian cooking, including Thai cuisine, and is suitable for those who want to add authentic umami flavor to homemade dishes.
