Now will someone please remind my 39-year-old brain what I needed it for? :rolleyes:

Perhaps to use as a natural alternative to Bengay?:D

Asian chili paste is VERY hot and very tasty. A little goes a long way.

This is what I bought mine for (thanks to Laura B. for posting it in an earlier thread so I didn't have to type it in!). It's awesome.

Thanks so much!! I've made the Fettucine with Finger-Licking Peanut Sauce before, but I subbed Chili SAUCE because I couldn't find Chili PASTE! Now it's time to make it again! Darn it I knew I'd needed it and never could find it, so when I saw it I snatched it up without even remembering the recipe I needed it for!

Laden, I found it at Cost Plus World Market, and the brand is Thai Kitchen. I buy Thai Kitchen stuff all the time at my regular grocery, but they obviously don't stock all of the line. This is a little 4 oz bottle that looks like a baby food jar, and the label says "Roasted Red Chili Paste" and I'm almost afraid to open it! It was only $2.69, and I guess it'll go far! Heather, thanks for the tip on the little-goes-a-long-way thing!

And Kima...Sweetie...don't ever joke about aches and pains and the use of BenGay with a woman who just begrudgingly celebrated her 39th birthday ;) I got a tube of BenGay this year as a gift! :rolleyes:
