Description
Chili Paste With Dried Chili And Peanuts - 228 g
Chili Paste is a traditional Thai chili paste, also known as Nam Prik Pao, and is a central condiment in Southeast Asian cuisine. The product is made from dried chili (14%), shallots, garlic, palm oil, sugar, fish sauce, and peanuts, which gives it a complex and aromatic flavour profile. The paste has a dark, thick, and smooth consistency with a soft, almost creamy texture that easily blends into hot dishes or mixes into cold dressings. Its heat level is described as medium - the paste is more aromatic and slightly smoky in flavour than overtly spicy, making it versatile in many different dishes. It can be used as a flavour base in soups like Tom Yum, where one to two teaspoons are stirred directly into the broth to add depth and sweetness. In wok dishes and fried rice, a tablespoon of paste is stir-fried in oil before vegetables or meat are added, giving a glazed surface and a rich chili flavour. The paste also works as a marinade by mixing it with lime juice and fresh herbs, and it can be used as a dipping sauce for skewers and spring rolls. The product is free from added preservatives, flavour enhancers, and colourings according to available information. The jar with a gold lid contains 228 g and should be stored in a dark, dry, and cool place. After opening, the product should be stored in the refrigerator. Chili Paste is aimed at food enthusiasts, home cooks, and professional chefs who want to work with authentic Asian flavourings. The paste is suitable as an Asian spice paste, Thai chili paste, spicy wok sauce, and a flavour enhancer for noodles and soups.
