All-Purpose Sour, Sweet and Salty Chili Jam (Modern Version) (naam phrik phao; น้ำพริกเผาสมัยใหม่)

Thai Chili Jam - This is a chili jam similar to what is commonly sold under the name of roasted chili paste (naam phrik phao; น้ำพริกเผา). It is widely used as a condiment in salad dressings, soups, and seasoning for stir-fried dishes. I like to have control over my pantry ingredients, so I always use homemade naam phrik phao. Furthermore, since it is a basic ingredient used in so many dishes, anything less than the best will drastically impair the quality of your dishes.

The Direction of the Cut - Following the Structure Across Thai, Chinese, and Japanese Culinary Traditions: Verbs, Chemistry, and the Architecture of the Knife Cut

Pick up a shallot. The thin lines running from root to tip are not cosmetic - they are the bulb's structural axis, the direction along which its cells elongated as it grew. The choice you make at the cutting board is the angle at which your knife will sever those cells. The decision turns out to be governed by the same principle whether you are slicing shallots, butchering meat, preparing sashimi, or scoring squid. This essay follows that principle across the Thai, Chinese, and Japanese culinary traditions - through their verbs, their chemistry, and the architecture of the cut. It is one of the deepest patterns in cooking, and one of the least discussed.
