Founded in 1966, the \Maesri\ brand has grown to earn a reputation in Thailand as an excellent example of Thai sauces and flavours. The company is now a multinational corporation, providing Thai food products to countries around the world. Maesri's Chilli Paste with Basil Leaves (Pad Kapao) is a jar of authentic Thai Pad Kapao sauce. Pad Kapao is a Thai dish with roots leading back hundreds of years. It was said to have been brought to the country by Chinese migrants, who adapted the recipe using local herbs and spices. The key components include basil, ground beef, garlic, sugar, and Thai chilli. The dish is often seasoned with a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce. Maesri's Chilli Paste with Basil Leaves (Pad Kapao) uses Thai holy basil, which is known for its bold fragrance, and combines it with Thai chilli, garlic, soyabean oil, kaffir lime, and peppers. It has a vibrant herbal taste with a healthy kick of spice. Try rubbing fish with the paste before grilling or frying. Alternatively, add it to stir-fried beef and serve with Thai jasmine rice.
