Pepper’s Sweet Chile Jam (Nam Prik Pao)

SERVES: Makes about 2 cups PREP: 5 minutes TOTAL TIME: 25 minutes

A signature Pepper Thai condiment that’s a balance of sweet and heat.

Hi! It’s Pepper here with a recipe from my new book, The Pepper Thai Cookbook, which is available in the Cravings shop now. 

This dark red sticky jam made from dried chiles is a must-have in my pantry. It’s jam-packed (get it?) with deep umami flavor and a balanced amount of sweetness and heat. Thai people use it to add a roasted tangy flavor to just about everything, from soups to instant noodles, or sometimes as a dip for pork rinds, shrimp chips, or vegetables.

You can find it sold in Thai markets as nam prik pao, but I think you should try making it yourself—I find the flavor is much deeper and richer.
