Prik Nam Pla
Meet the Thai condiment that transforms everything it touches—"Prik Nam Pla" or "Nam Pla Prik". Just a drizzle over eggs, fish, or plain steamed veggies brings a bold, savory kick that wakes up your plate. This simple mix of fish sauce, chilies, lime, and garlic is the secret weapon every kitchen needs.
Equipment
- 1 small mason jar or bowl
Ingredients
- 4 Thai chilies (minced or sliced)
- 1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic (2-3 cloves)
- 1-2 shallots
- 1 tbsp fesh lime juice
- 8 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- Slice the chilies, shallots, and garlic.
- Mix the base ingredients : In a small bowl, squeeze fresh lime juice over the base ingredients. This will help to prevent chili seeds turning black too soon.
- Add fish sauce and sugar to balance flavor : The smell of fish sauce can make this condiment quite intense so adding a little bit of sugar will balance things out.
- Taste and store : Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve on the side with food that is served with rice and enjoy!
