Good day to all...The Thai Chile paste that I use, and there are two, one totally
vegan, and the other has shrimp as well are both available at an Asian market,
but it has to be a separate Asian market, that the Asian population use, not the
imitation ones at the stupormarket, which only sometimes have decent stuff. Both
of these are HOT and only a smal amount is required to give whatever you are
cooking a kick. They are both from Thailand, so if you can find a Thai store all
the better. The vegan one is called Cheng Sim
and it is 100% vegetarian chile paste, manufatured in Bangkok by Cal Industries
and Marketing Co. Ltd 8 oz jar which keeps in fridge a long time $3.49 Cdn,
much less, US $ The next one is a very hot Thai Shrimp paste...Pantainorasingh
Brand which contains Chile, Soya bean oil, sugar, fish sauce, garlic,shallot,
dried shrimp, tamarind paste, salt and sodium benzoate, and this one costs $1.99
Cdn for 3.5 oz jar, which will also keep in the fridge, if not forever, a very
long time. These are both fabulous chile pastes, and on the label of the shrimp
paste it tells everyone that this paste may be used as a sandwich spread, as it
is cooked. DO THIS WITH EXTREME CARE and that is the voice of experience! Try
and find these, when in a large US city with a high Asian population...if I can
get them on Vancouver Island in a town of 70000 then they should be
available.Cheers, Doug in BC
