Can some one tell me where can i find red chili pepper paste?

Question

I went to an Asian market and i was looking for this paste and i never found it, can you tell me if it named differently or what! I really want this paste!

Answer 1

look in a hispanic or mexican market

Answer 2

You can go to Cost Plus World Market, and in the food section, you can get garlic and black bean chili pastes. It may be called sambal, or if you can find it, there's a chili sauce called sriracha that has a green squirt lid and has a picture of a rooster on the bottle.

Answer 3

In the ethinic section of the supermarket, by the Asian foods. It will probably say garlic and red chili paste.

Answer 4

In the sauces aisle, look for:

Tuong ot-toi Viet Nam -- Vietnamese chile paste with garlic (a chunkier style, with seeds in the mix)

Tuong ot-toi Sriracha -- Vietnamese chile paste, Sriracha style (smoother, a little sweeter, no seeds)

Sambal oelek -- Indonesian chile paste with garlic (very similar to the first tuong)

Look in the sauces aisle, it should be near the soy, hoisin, etc. bottled sauces. The first style of tuong and the sambal are in cylindrical clear-plastic jars, usually with green lids; the Sriracha style tuong is in a squeeze bottle.

I've also had an Indonesian chile sauce/paste that was made of roasted red chiles in oil -- it's also excellent, but these three are my regular staples.

Answer 5

Try asking for "dragon teeth".
This is a chili paste preserved in oil that works great, and is the type found in my local asian restraunts and supermarkets.

Answer 6

Vallarta ot Trader Joes

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9
