Chili paste substitute?

I hate when I forget something at the store! I am making Thai Grilled Steak w/ String Beans and the recipe calls for a mixture of lime juice, fish sauce, scallions, cilantro and chili paste that gets tossed with the steak and beans. What can I substitute for the chili paste. I have on hand....tabasco, jarred jalapenos, sf hoisin sauce, chili powder, cayenne pepper. Any thoughts or should I just omit that ingredient?


TIA!

Not sure on how to make your own, but I definitely wouldn't omit it.

Thanks girls! I'll add some crushed red pepper flakes, garlic and a dash of soy!
