      Title: Nam Prik Pow (Black Chili Paste)
 Categories: Herbs/spice, Thai
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
      1 c  Oil For Deep-Frying
      4 oz Dried Green Jalapeno Peppers
      1 c  Chopped Shallots
      1 c  Chopped Garlic
      8 oz Dried Shrimp
      2 tb Shrimp Paste
    1/3 c  Fish Sauce (Nam Pla)
    1/4 c  Sugar
 
  This dip will give any food a much richer taste, and add spiciness. Heat a
  small pan with the oil and deep-fry the dried peppers, shallots and garlic
  until dark brown.  Place the fried ingredients with all the others in a
  blender, and process until a smooth mixture forms. Pour the entire mixture
  into a medium skillet and fry on medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove, cool,
  and place in a jar with a tight fitting lid and use as needed. It will keep
  indefinitely.
