NAM PRIK NAM PLA (TRADITIONAL THAI SAUCE)



Nam Prik Nam Pla (Traditional Thai Sauce) image

This is the classic Thai condiment you always find on a Thai table, whether its a restaurant or home. It is spooned onto everything from fried rice to noodle soups. Tightly sealed, this will keep up to 2 weeks. There are many versions of this sauce, this is the one that my family likes. Feel free to adjust the sour (lime juice), salty (fish sauce), sweet (sugar) or spicy to your liking.
