Mae Rusmee Narok Gourami Fish Chilli Paste 90g

Mae Rusmee Narok Gourami Fish Chilli Paste (น้ำพริกนรกปลาสลิด แม่รัศมี, nam phrik narok pla salid mae rat-sa-mii) is a ready-to-use Thai chilli paste from Mae Rusmee made with gourami fish (pla salid, ปลาสลิด) in the narok (นรก, “hell”) style. Gourami fish (pla salid) is a freshwater fish that is a staple of Thai pantry cooking — dried and then processed into a deeply savoury, rich, and intensely flavoured ingredient with a distinctive character that sets it apart from generic dried fish (pla pon). Where nam phrik pla pon uses ground dried fish of various types, nam phrik pla salid specifically uses gourami, which has a more pronounced, complex, and prized flavour in Thai cooking. The narok designation means this is a spicier, more assertive version — bold heat combined with the rich, distinctive gourami fish depth. The result is a fiery, intensely savoury, and deeply aromatic chilli paste that is one of the most flavourful in the Mae Rusmee range. The 90 g jar is a compact, convenient format.
