Crying Tiger Sauce – Authentic Thai-Lao Dipping Sauce & Marinade | My Thai Curry

Crying Tiger

Crying Tiger Sauce is an authentic Thai-Lao dipping sauce (น้ำจิ้ม / Nahm Jim) — thicker and smokier than most versions you'll find. Originally sourced from a tiny restaurant in Nong Khai on the Mekong River, this recipe is ideal as a marinade or dipping sauce for grilled meats, and doubles as the base for a classic Laab Gai (Thai Spicy Chicken Salad).

Why it's different: Richer, smokier, and more complex than standard Crying Tiger sauces — made with roasted red chillies, tamarind, lemongrass, galangal, and coconut palm sugar. No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. Gluten free.

Ingredients: Tamarind · Coconut Palm Sugar · Thai Fish Sauce (Fish) · Roasted Jasmine Rice · Roasted Red Chillies · Lemongrass · Galangal · Sunflower Oil · Rice Vinegar · Salt
