Prik Pao for Tom Yum

The freshest and most delicious Prik Pao you will ever taste This isthe Yellow Label that Mae Pranom makes for the local Thai marketIts made specifically for Tom Yum Goong but we find its great justspooned over freshly steamed rice (then mixed to incorporate the prikpao into all of the rice) or added when making fried rice We like it as asimple dip for fresh vegetables

You get 32 oz of prik pao in each can so this is a large quantity andallows for generous use On a pershyounce basis this is less expensivethan our 8 oz jar of white label prik pao

The top opens up like a paint can just use the handle of a spoon to pryit up The Prik Pao is packed inside the can in a modern strongplastic pouch (see picture below) Just open the pouch and pour it backinto the can for storage in your pantry

Makes a fantastic gift for any Thai person you may know as this isvery rare in USA aside from our shop Weve never seen it offeredbefore outside of Thailand

Ingredients sugar salt vegetable oil onion garlic dried chilli driedshrimp tamarind shrimp paste No preservatives Made in Thailand

I love Thai food and I have long been a slave to the local Thai restaurants Lastweek I discovered your website while looking for an Asian grocery store on thewest side of LA thinking about attempting to make my favorite Thai soup Ilooked at your recipes and watched the street vendor videos I looked at yourproducts and read the explanations about the uses of various Thai producespices and condiments which would otherwise have been a mystery to me Iplaced an order for produce and other ingredients last Wednesday andreceived my fresh produce two days later on Friday I got my spices andcondiments on Monday and today Tuesday I made this Tom Yum Goongsoup to rival the soup at my favorite Thai restaurant To say that I amimpressed by your service is an understatement You have made me veryhappy I will spread the good word to all my foodshyloving friends Thank you
