HELLO LOVELY VIEWERS! Important Note: If you have questions about this recipe, you can post it here for the community to answer. But if you want to ask me, please get in touch via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or my website (all links are in the description above). If you leave questions in the comments I may not see them due to the large volume of comments I receive across the hundreds of videos on this channel. Also, before sending on any questions be sure to read the written recipe on the website as I often add extra tips and notes not covered in the video. Thank you for watching!

@Pailin's Kitchen - quick question - I've had a chili dip (which is usually pretty dry and deliciously spicy) at my thai and lao friend's place that they serve with sticky rice. Is that it? I'm totally addicted to that dip, but I couldn't find it anywhere. If this is it, I'll be so happy! Also, would you happen to know if there's a difference in taste between the lao versions and the thai version?

[@crownstupid]

The jarred chili paste like from Maesri has soybean oil, but yours does not. Does the soybean oil change the flavor dramatically?

[@uzmaafiqah]

Hi! Can I use regular sugar instead of palm sugar?

[@wawatst]

Hello Pailin, I couldn’t find any fresh tamarinds but I found some fried tamarind powder. How much tamarind powder should I put to make this chili paste?

[@harbourdogNL]

5:15 As with Indonesian dishes, frying the various spice pastes in a bit of oil before adding anything else really brings out the flavour of the paste. It's a critical step for making any Padang (West Sumatra) dishes like kalio ayam or rendang.

[@muhamadadipratomo8116]

I'm from Indonesia and rightnow I'm interest to learning about thailand dish, because the ingredient/condiment in thailand is simillar with indonesian herbs/ingredient and also I like with taste of thailand dish 😊😊

[@dianeeharris]

I made this from your recipe...my son loves your chili jam! We add it to noodles, meat/chicken/ shrimp and vegetable recipes... And it lasts 8 months in a glass jar in my fridge. Thank you for sharing!

[@letXeqX]

Great to know it will stay good 8 months! In that case I'll make 4x the recipe, much easier than making it 4 separate times. thx.

[@mentaritravel1004]

Thai chili paste in bottles cost a lot here, so I thought to myself maybe I could try making it at home. So I've just made this and followed the recipe but the color didn't came out red after blending. Our local Indonesian dry chili is not that dark like in the video, its reddish/orangish. I panicked when the color was orangish after I blended all of the ingredients, so I added some gochugaru. It didn't help so I just cooked it and the color turned out pretty ok, similar to your finishing, just not that dark (thai chili paste bottle is also very dark in color). But yah its too spicy, since ours is still spicy even after I removed seeds and pits...oh well! Anyway, Thanks for the recipe! 💜

[@milliethemillinator3154]

This turned out better than I could have imagined! OMGOODNESS, it's SO good!

[@thavylor]

OMG this is my favorite. I remember eating when I was a kid back in my country. I have a hard time finding who could cook this. Thank you for the recipe.

[@uyennguyen9569]

I’m from Vietnam, I’ve followed your channel for years. I made Thai chili jam for the first time, yesterday. I’m so happy that it turned out very similar to the recipe even though I didn’t have enough dried spur chili, so I replaced a part of it by Korean chili flakes. Thank you so much for a great recipe, this encourages me to keep up exploring Thai cuisine 🥰

[@Blaze6432]

I'm of an American of Malaysian heritage. I'm vegan so I avoid Fish and Shrimp. Chili paste is actually a beautiful condiment for almost anything. Pizza, Burgers, hot dogs, tacos, sometimes I mix it with some vegan sandwhich spreads and sour cream to give it a spicy flare.

[@peterho71]

OMG.... It's tastes so so awesome. My gals loved it so much that they practically spread it on everything.. Keep up the good postings.

[@ahh4986]

Are jeaow bong or chili jam above the main ingredient in tom yum goong

[@SpinelSunSupMay]

@@ahh4986 yes. This chili paste is the main ingredients in Tom Yam Kung, and also many other dishes. You can eat it with bread as Khun Pie do. Some Thai people eat it with rice and boiled eggs, or even with only rice. In Thailand, it's also popular for eating it with Crepe and dried shredded pork, too.

[@eranmalloch]

I found a recipe online years ago for making a soup with nam prik pao. It was UNBELIEVABLY delicious. One of the most tasty soups I've ever had. So I'm a big fan of this paste or jam. I probably would never bother making it myself, since my local supermarket (Perth, Western Australia) sells a selection of them and the genuine Thai one is great. Thanks for showing how to make it though. It's good to understand what's in it and how it is made. BTW, I found you from Uncle Roger's video where he reviewed your Pad Thai Aunty Pailin 🙂 Lastly, it's amazing to me but you could be an asian clone of my Caucasian cousin. It blew my mind when I realised the similarities. I love Thai food, so I'll be back to watch some more videos soon.

[@allisonsipe7503]

We've made this a few times now and we love it! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us!!

[@samdekwat9551]

Excellent! I had no idea it was so easy !!!! I've been looking for นำ้พริกเผา but the stuff I find in supermarket is either too sweet or too oily. There is an old lady at the nearby market (in Nonthaburi) who makes it just perfect, but only she doesn't make it often enough to keep up with my consumption. Thank you for the video ! It's my turn to get in the kitchen and see what I can do. ...Subscribing...

I’m trying to do your creamy tom yam, don’t have thai chili paste so came here, have everything but the mini shrimps lol I’ve been trying so many different kinds of food and the spices and sauces ive been buying are getting overwhelming so do you think I can replace the chili paste with shrimp chili paste?

Thank you for posting this. I've wanted to make this for awhile but never found a recipe I liked.

[@skatingcanuck9837]

I like how you make this recipe so simple, but I'm curious how much of a difference a home made Thai chili paste makes from a store bought one in recipes.

[@milliethemillinator3154]

HUGE! And there's no danger warnings with the one you make. The one you buy in the store has birth defect warnings, no seriously. 😳🙄 It must have some sort of chemicals in it, better to make your own. Plus you can add as little or as much as you like of whatever ingredient. I don't like mine so sweet, so I control the sugar. 😊👍

[@allroundlad]

​@@milliethemillinator3154What's it actually supposed to taste like? I'm having a hard time adjusting my seasoning because I've never actually tried it before. I heard it's supposed to be a little spicy, sweet, sour and salty.

[@chamcham9089]

I tried this recipe its very nice! But after stored in fridge it become harden, is it because I used white sugar or the oil i m using is not right?

Not a vegetarian but there are many veg shrimp paste brands made from soybeans. Anyway I'm in Thailand so it's not so hard to find them. Don't know if anybody abroad import them to sale, but pretty sure there should be some online but you might have to search for them.

[@pamelaharriman8338]

Hi. So love this video. I made your recipe and it's Excellent. I love the smokiness and even though I followed your recipe to a T it tastes to me like a deep and rich tomato jam, but there are no tomatoes in your recipe. I just put a little bit on a Wheat Thin and it's so crazy good, and depending on the chilies one uses, there is a little burn at the back of my throat. Thanks for an easy and delicious condiment

[@lindaboyd]

Wow, just made this. Fantastic. Next time I will use just a tiny bit less of the shrimp products and a little less tamarind. Just for a better balance.

[@ceciliacruz7804]

Thank you Pai for this treasure !!!

[@blossomcabral3008]

Nice recipe . What's the substitute for palm sugar?

[@adamthehtkminion6750]

She says regular sugar but it won't be quite the same. Some say brown sugar but the molasses changes the taste profile completely ... so if you can find palm sugar somewhere it's totally worth it! :)

[@ahhwe-any7434]

My husband's Caucasian. He assigned himself the cook and he's so prideful about that... anyways, for so long he's been feeding me the majority typical American food (sometimes s.e.a. food) and ive gotten so fat. I think I'm at my pregnancy weight minus the baby. And I had a big baby! But I pester him so much about sticky rice now, that way food will always be ready & all he has to whip up is some meats, easy & quick. Hell, we could just eat beef jerky w/ this chilli paste. This food is so comforting for me. I just miss being Asian sometimes, _long dramatic sigh_ 😔 ha While he's just this born & raised southern white boy. Lol, the mixture of smells in the kitchen/ house tho. Starting to smell a little Asian in here. Sometimes a mix w/ cinnamon apple airfreshnor too bc idk smells like white ppl,... lmao. Or whoever used to always watch over me as a brat. Babysitters and the sorts. There was always a Lotta white ppl around back then. Bc smells r always triggering But prob next up, bc he doesn't always listen to me, his version of chick filla, or whatever fried chicken joint he's always trying to imitate. It is good tho. It's just, at least im very very slowly losing lbs

Had to improvise as I thought I had garlic , but only garlic/ginger paste, but in the small portion I made Fantastic, many thanks will be trying on burgers at w/e..

[@chrisw7347]

If you're whipping up some noodles for a quick meal, you can use this jam and it's really amazing. I kinda like to do something Chinese-esque? Add a small spoon of everything here over some freshly boiled noodles: nam prik pao, sichuan hot oil, soy sauce, chinese vinegar, sugar, msg, scallion, sesame paste, grinded sichuan peppercorn, grated garlic, chopped preserved radish or other chinese pickled veg, etc. Mix it up and you've got a really delicious street food style noodle dish in no time.

I think there is some ingredient we dont have in our country awwwww it looks very yammmy

[@larzlarz1140]

I make this is guajillo chilis, onion, garlic, a splash of fish sauce and salt. It is smoky, spicy and salty with some umami, but not a distincitve fermented fish/shrimp flavor that you get in SE asian cuisine and it's not sweet. But it goes excellent in everything. It's versatility works like sriracha, but it doesnt have the raw, vinagery flavor or sriracha. It is a more mellow, smoky, fully cooked flavor.

[@Zinxjinxy]

how do you clean the coffee grinder before/after using it to grind the chilies? Do the chilies end up with a coffee flavor?

[@jus_jut]

I am assuming this is jeaow bong Lao version to Thai version, correct?

Why are the seeds removed from the dried chilis? Don’t you want it to be hot? Also, what oil do you mix with the chilis? I’m interested in making a version of this with no sweetness whatsoever, so no sugar and no anything that contains sugar/sweetness. I cannot tolerate anything sweet AT ALL! I’ve been this way since infancy; I cannot even eat fruit! Thanks for any suggestions you may have for me! Great videos!

[@ttanmana5905]

Hi, all Thai chili paste (brands) have dry shrimp as one of the main ingredient. I would recommend you buy a small jar of Thai chili paste from you local Asian grocery store to try out first if you can handle the smell and taste. My opinion is that dry shrimp (just like fish sauce) if it's not being heated or went through the cooking process with heat can leave a very strong smell on the dish (just like papaya salad which doesn't go through any heating process). Therefore, the dry shrimp in a cooked Thai chili paste should has very subtle smell than the one in raw form in papaya salad.

[@jkardine]

Hye Pai, Thoroughly enjoyed your video's, I must ask though, your mild red chilli's in this recipe are they the same as the Indian red Kashmiri chillies? Other than the shrimp paste I have everything else, but a visit to the city market is a good excuse they also have a large Chinese retail outlet I would imagine I can get both shrimp and the paste from. I think this is something my friends would love thank you.
