Ta Dang Chili Paste 200g

The Authentic "Red Eye" Chili Dip of Thailand

Experience the bold, rustic flavors of the Thai countryside with Maesri Ta-Dang Chili Paste (known locally as Nam Prik Ta-Daeng). Often translated as "Red Eye Chili Paste" due to its fiery color, this is a classic Thai condiment made from roasted dried chilies, garlic, shallots, and savory fish.

Unlike sweet chili sauces, Ta-Dang is savory, salty, and spicy with a deep, smoky aroma from the roasted ingredients. It is a thick, paste-like relish that brings a powerful umami punch to any meal.

How the Locals Eat It: In Thailand, this paste is the centerpiece of a meal, not just a side sauce. It is traditionally served as a dip alongside a basket of Hot Sticky Rice, fresh cucumber slices, boiled cabbage, and hard-boiled eggs.

Why Maesri Ta-Dang is a Pantry Essential:

• Authentic Recipe: A traditional blend of roasted chilies and fish that captures the true taste of Thai home cooking.

• Versatile Flavor Booster: Delicious as a dip, but also excellent stirred into soups or curries to add depth and heat.

• 100% Natural: Made with No MSG, No Preservatives, and No Artificial Colours.

• Ready to Eat: No cooking required—just open the jar and dip!

Serving Suggestion: Create a traditional "Thai Dip Platter": Place a small bowl of Ta-Dang Paste in the center of a plate. Surround it with balls of warm Glutinous (Sticky) Rice, fresh green beans, cucumber spears, and fried pork rinds.
