Description
Chili Paste in Oil - 500 g
Chili paste in oil, also known as Nam Prik Pao, is a well-known and aromatic spice paste with roots in traditional Thai cuisine. The product is composed of palm oil, dried chili (14%), shallots, garlic, sugar, fish sauce, and peanuts, which provides a complex flavor profile with a balance of sweetness, smoky depth, and pleasant chili heat. The paste is used as a flavor base in a wide range of Asian dishes and is particularly suitable for soups like Tom Yum, where 1-2 teaspoons are stirred into the broth to add immediate body and aroma. When preparing stir-fries and fried rice dishes, a tablespoon of paste can be sautéed in oil before adding vegetables and meat, resulting in a glossy surface and a nuanced chili flavor. The paste also works as a marinade when mixed with lime juice and fresh herbs, and it is suitable as a dipping sauce for grilled skewers and spring rolls. The consistency is thick and smooth, making it easy to portion and distribute in dishes. The flavor is characterized by a medium heat that is more aromatic than burning, and the smoky sweetness from the caramelized ingredients gives the dish a special depth. The product comes in a glass jar with a metal screw cap and has a net weight of 500 g, making it a practical size for frequent use in the home kitchen. Store in a dark, dry, and cool place, and after opening, the product should be stored in the refrigerator. The paste contains FISH (anchovy) and PEANUTS and is therefore not suitable for individuals with allergies to these ingredients. Chili paste in oil is aimed at food enthusiasts who want to prepare authentic Asian dishes at home, as well as professional chefs interested in Southeast Asian cuisine.
