✨ Maepranom Chili Paste in Oil for Deep, Thai-Style Heat

This Thai-style chili paste in oil brings a rich, spicy kick with a savoury depth that’s great when you want more than just straight heat. Stir it in and it quickly adds aroma, colour, and a rounded chilli flavour to everyday cooking.

Use a little as a flavour base in soups and stir-fries, or spoon it on top as a finishing touch. It’s especially handy for turning simple noodles, rice, or grilled dishes into something bolder without needing lots of extra seasonings.

✅ Key features

• Adds both heat and savoury depth, not just chilli burn
• Oil-based paste blends smoothly into hot dishes and clings well to noodles and rice
• Easy way to build a Thai-style flavour base in minutes
• Good for adjusting spice levels at the table—start small and add to taste
• Works as a finishing condiment to boost aroma and richness 🌶️

🍽️ How to use

• Stir into Tom Yum or other brothy soups near the end for extra chilli aroma
• Mix into fried rice or noodles while cooking, or dot on top just before serving
• Use as a quick stir-fry starter: warm a small spoonful in the pan before adding meat, tofu, and vegetables
• Blend with a little lime or vinegar for a punchy dipping sauce for grilled meats or roasted veg
• Add a small amount to coconut-based curries (including slow-cooked styles) to deepen the chilli note without overpowering the dish
