Shrimps fried rice with roasted chili paste ข้าวผัดน้ำพริกเผากุ้ง


Shrimps fried rice with roasted chili paste or "Khao Phad Nam-Prik Paow Koong" Nam prik paow is traditionally made by roasting the chilies, shallots, and garlic over coal in charcoal stoves. At home, the ingredients are best grilled over a charcoal fire, but they may also be oven roasted, or cooked in a heavy skillet. Use in Tom Yum soup or anywhere you'd like a kick of smoky, chili pepper heat.  And this is the one we used to sell in the hotel.  Today I picked this dish to share. Might be interesting for people who love food with a spicy sweetness...READY??
