Chili pastes

Have you ever heard of Namprik? If not, it's about time!

This is a typical spicy chili sauce from Thai cuisine, usually made from chili, garlic, shallots, tamarind, and a type of fish or shrimp paste. The ingredients are traditionally crushed in a mortar and seasoned to taste.

Nam prik paste is served in small bowls alongside the main course and can be used as a condiment or as a side dish for main and side dishes. Depending on the type and region, the consistency of nam prik varies from runny to almost dry, grainy, or powdery.

Just try this delicious sauce and let yourself be enchanted by the flavors of Thai cuisine!

By the way, we deliberately used different spellings for Namprik. The spelling is as diverse as the pastes themselves.
