Trachang Brand Shrimp Paste 185g

Trachang Brand Shrimp Paste (กะปิแท้ตราชั่ง, kapi trae tra Chang) is a Thai fermented shrimp paste produced under the Trachang (Tra Chang / ตราชั่ง — Scales Brand) brand — one of Thailand’s most widely recognised and long-established shrimp paste brands. Shrimp paste (kapi / กะปิ) is a fermented seafood condiment made from small shrimp or krill that are salted, fermented, and sun-dried to produce a dense, pungent, and deeply savoury paste. It is one of the most fundamental ingredients in Thai cooking, used as a base flavour component in a wide range of dishes. Kapi is an essential ingredient in nam phrik kapi (น้ำพริกกะปิ — shrimp paste chilli dip), Thai curry pastes (phrik kaeng), and many other Thai dishes including pad kapi (stir-fried shrimp paste), and is used to add depth and umami to soups, stir-fries, and sauces. The Thai description notes its rich, concentrated aroma (หอมเข้มข้น) and suitability for nam phrik and Thai cooking. The 185g jar is a standard household cooking format.
