Thai Chili Paste
Thai Chili Paste is a Thai roasted chili paste used widely as a condiment in Thai cuisine — prized for its smoky, sweet and spicy depth that seasons stir-fries, soups and dipping sauces. It is relatively energy-dense and used sparingly to add concentrated flavor rather than bulk. Nutritionally, Thai Chili Paste contains appreciable unsaturated fats and some vitamin C, but can also be high in added salt and sweeteners; for that reason it’s typically used in small amounts rather than as a primary ingredient. From a health standpoint, this type of chili paste often contributes beneficial monounsaturated fats and flavorful plant compounds, but it’s best enjoyed in moderation because of its concentrated salt/sugar content.
