Handcrafted by Acclaimed Chef Palita Sriratana, This Unique Sauce Offers a Luxurious, Unmatched Flavor Experience
Chicago, IL – June 14, 2024 – PINK SALT proudly announces the launch of Nam Prik Pao, a Thai-style roasted chili jam. This award-winning, handcrafted sauce is set to become a staple in kitchens across the country. Unlike other chili oils and crisps, Nam Prik Pao balances a unique blend of sweet, tangy, spicy, and umami notes, creating an unparalleled taste sensation. Chef Sriratana has poured her passion and heritage into every jar of Nam Prik Pao. Handmade in Chicago, this condiment is a testament to her commitment to quality.
“I wanted to have something on hand when I missed Thai flavors and spicy food,” says Chef Sriratana. "Each batch is crafted with care, using ingredients inherent to Thai cuisine to ensure a luxurious and unmatched taste.”
The versatility of Nam Prik Pao makes it a must-have in any kitchen. Whether used as a marinade enhancer or a boost for soups and stir-fries, this condiment promises to elevate any dish it touches. With real caramelized garlic and shallots, Nam Prik Pao works as a great base for pastas and a boost for soups and stir-fries. It’s absolutely amazing as is over eggs and rice to start your morning or as a gift for the host who has everything to put on their cheeseboards. Its complex flavor profile comes from a traditional recipe. Chef Palita Sriratana is dedicated to keeping it handmade without any fillers or stabilizers.
Each jar is a celebration of Thai culinary heritage, brought to life through Chef Sriratana's unique perspective. Born in America but deeply connected to Thailand through annual summer trips growing up, Chef Palita saw the gap in quality Thai sauces and condiments in the American market and sought to uplift Thai culture through her cooking.
Since its launch, Nam Prik Pao has garnered praise from chefs and food enthusiasts alike. Its unique combination of flavors has set it apart in the crowded condiment market, earning it numerous accolades including the coveted Foxtrot Up&Comers award, a new trending flavor profile on Dataessential, and Chicago Eater’s Top Xmas gifts. Fast Company called it "the sauce that you can put on everything." Tamarind and coconut sugar meld into dishes like arrabbiata for an extra pop or drizzle over strawberry ice cream for an unexpected punch.
Nam Prik Pao is now available for purchase online and at select specialty stores across Chicago and nationwide. Experience the luxurious and unmatched flavor of Nam Prik Pao and discover why it is quickly becoming a favorite among food lovers and chefs.
