Prik Nam Pla – Thai Sauce
By admin | February 27, 2010
In Thailand, no table is complete without a small bowl of Prik Nam Pla. This Thai Sauce is to Thailand what Ketchup is to the US or Soy Sauce is to Japan. Prik Nam Pla is a Thai sauce that has just 2 ingredients, Fish Sauce and small hot chillies known as Prik Kee Noo. Other ingredients can sometimes be added eg. a small amount of sugar, lime juice or chopped garlic but they are not normally included. In most Thai restaurants you would have to specifically ask if you wanted other ingredients put in the Prik Nam Pla. Therefore if you wanted lime juice you would ask for Prik Nam Pla Manao (Manao=Lime). Thai people will spoon a little of this Thai sauce (Nam Jim) over nearly everything, even just plain boiled rice. For many Thais, even the spiciest of dishes is never quite spicy enough.
Ingredients for Prik Nam Pla – Thai Sauce
1 Tbsp Prik Kee Noo Chillies or similar small hot chillies (green and red) finely chopped
2-3 Tbsp Fish Sauce.
Method
Put the chillies into a small dish and add the Fish Sauce, enough to cover the chillies.

Not sure where you are but if you can’t get Prik Kee Noo Chillies, any small HOT chili will do. Usually the smaller the chili the hotter it is.
