Thai CHILLI Paste | HOW To Make IT And HOW To Use IT! Nam Phrik Pao
Hi everyone today's video is all about Thai chilli paste/jam otherwise known as Nam Phrik Pao in Thai. This is similar to chilli oil but carries more umami and a rich, soothing, comforting, spicy flavour. Chef Tou will be showing us how to make it and how to use it. This paste can be used to make amazing stir frys or can be used neat on your plate Thai style.
Enjoy.
Here's the recipe:
75g Dried Thai birds eye chilli ( you can leave these out and double up on the sweet chilli if you want it milder)
75g Dried large sweet Thai chilli
200g Shallots roughly cut
100g Dried shrimp
200g Garlic peeled
For the following ingredients use the base amounts first and then taste it to see if you need to adjust it.
4x Tbsp tamarind sauce (we ended up adding another two)
4x Tbsp fish sauce (we ended up adding another spoon)
1x Large heaped Tbsp shrimp paste
2x Large heaped Tbsp coconut sugar (we ended up adding another spoon), you can use palm sugar but you may need less as it's slightly sweeter.
A good quality oil
For the stir fry:
Handful of prawns
2x Tbsp of chilli paste
1x Tbsp of stir fry sauce
20g white onion
20g long beans
20g red and green peppers
As with all Asian cooking this is a rough guide with regards to amounts, adjust for your own taste and spice tolerance.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
Enjoy!!!!!!!
