Ajat Prik Naam Pla Thai Dipping Sauce

Prik Naam Pla, Thai dipping sauce.

July 01, 2023 2 Comments

This is the essential Thai dipping sauce you see all over Thailand. An absolute must for the Pad Kaprow recipe but also used to spice up almost any dish, particularly grilled meats or similar. And for many Thais they can't think of eating a fried egg without some Prik Naam Pla to top it. More than anything, it sums up the Thai food tastes of sour sweet and salty. Spicy? Of course that also depends on what chillies you use for this, and if you're prepared to do the extra work of separating out the seeds and the white pith it will be a lot less spicy. However, if you have to go that far this really might not be for you! Check out the video below to see how to make it :-)

My first confession is that that I never thought I would be sitting here writing a recipe for a Thai Curry pie, but times change and we change with them or stagnate. My interest was sparked on my first trip back to Bangkok after the pandemic, chicken curry puffs have long been a popular Thai snack but savoury pies, usually steak and kidney, were very much something that was restricted to the Bangkok expat pub scene. All that had changed, bake shops were springing up outside the traditional to...

Probably one of Thailand's most famous dishes served on both humble street food stalls and the poshest of restaurants. This is a simple dish with simple ingredients and with little practice, a good restaurant standard meal can be made in minutes. In Thailand this is almost always served with a crispy fried egg with a runny yolk, and the technique for cooking the egg is a crucial part of making this dish. If a crispy fried egg is not your thing of course you can eat it without, says she sadly..
