How do you tone done a dish with too much hot chili paste?

* Add more sauce. Adding sauce will help to dilute the chili paste and reduce its spiciness. Adding sauces like milk or cream can help tame the heat. Soy sauce or ketchup can also be added to balance the flavors.

* Use dairy. Dairy products like sour cream, yogurt, and milk can help to cool down the heat of the chili paste. You can add them directly to the dish or serve them on the side. Adding grated cheese can also help reduce spiciness.

* Add starch. Starch can help to absorb some of the spiciness of the chili paste. You can add starchy foods like rice, noodles, or potatoes to the dish. This can be especially helpful when added as an accompaniment to a soup or stew that has become too spicy.

* Add sugar. A small amount of sugar can help to balance the spiciness of the chili paste. Don't add too much, or the dish will become sweet.

* Add acid. Acidic ingredients like lemon juice, vinegar, or lime juice can help to cut through the heat of the chili paste. Just be careful not to add too much, or the dish will become sour. Adding acidity can be done with lime wedges or a squeeze of lemon.

* Serve with cooling garnishes. Cooling garnishes like cilantro, mint, or basil can help to cool down the dish. You can also serve it with a side of fresh vegetables or fruit to help balance the spiciness.
