How to make chili paste (nam prik)

Chili paste is use as a dip for all kinds of vegetables. It is a healthy food and an important
part of every Thai kitchen. It is a food that represents the Thai style of eating very well. The different
areas of the country have their own unique style of chili paste with different flavors. Some examples
are: namprik kapi, namprik makham sot, namprik ta deng, namprik narok, namprikjone, and namprik
plarah. Making and selling chili pastes can be a good way to supplement income because it is not

only eaten with rice but it is also one of the main ingredients in other curries. Chili paste usually has
a spicy, salty taste but most people like to add more sour and sweet to make the taste richer.
Nam prik kung (chili paste with shrimps) is one of the products available from Mae

Jinda Wattanapongchai who is the founder of the famous Mae Jinda food products from Petchaburi
Province. Mae Jinda once said that when she was thinkg of new products to make she would
look at the ingredients she already had and would think of new ways to mix them or prepare them.
