Chilli paste
Chinese chilli paste

Hello chilli lovers, let’s meet every pantry must-have taste enhancer! This special spice and chilli blend will instantly enhance the flavours of fried rice, noodles or any stir-fries! We know that dried shrimps have a distinct flavour and in this recipe, it is being roasted in oil and blended with dried chillies and onions along with sauces in perfect proportions to win everyone’s taste buds!

Now, this will be a piece of good news for all the healthy eaters; While experimenting on this great taste bud winner, I came across a superb way to minimize the amount of oil used in it.  Instead of deep-frying all the ingredients as everyone usually does, I stir-fried, using only four tbsp of oil, while keeping the taste perfectly intact! Wonders of wonders, really!

Surprisingly,  the taste was supreme, despite not being drenched in oil like many available brands on the shop shelves.  I am pretty sure that if you taste this delicious chilli paste once, you will never buy any supermarket brands which has no real shrimp taste. Absolute fake!

I suggest that you make a large batch and fill a large glass bottle and store in the fridge. It will sit in the fridge fresh and aromatic for over three months.

So, let’s make it!
