Nam prik pao, Thai chili paste (not to be confused with CURRY paste) is a magical ingredient that makes everything taste better. You can buy it or make it (DIY recipe on my website and in my book Sabai), it's made primarily of dried chilies, garlic, shallots, and dried shrimp. It's a sweet-savoury-umami paste, and if you're tired of the usual plain fried rice, adding nam prik pao is a really easy hack to an instant flavour upgrade. ⁠ How do you like to use nam prik pao?
