About

Garlic, chilli, shallots, tamarind and shrimp paste are just some of the umami ingredients in Thai chilli paste/jam (nam prik pao), an essential taste in Thai soups, sauces and stir-fries. Find jars of it online or visit your local Asian shop. Mixed with a little soy and fish sauce, it makes a swift but magical stir-fry sauce.
