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 :-)

I love pineapple, but put it on my pizza at your own risk! In a curry, though, it’s a different story. In the method used here the pineapple soaks up the flavour of the curry while keeping a sweet centre. And if pineapple in savoury dishes still isn’t for you, simply leave it out.This is one of the easiest, quickest curries you can make, and it works beautifully with a bag of frozen mixed seafood. Let’s get cooking!

Thai Green Fish Curry

This is an incredibly simple dish to prepare. It can be made in minutes with fresh or frozen fish, the only caveat being to choose fish steaks instead of fish fillets if possible as they hold together better when cooking. Also, if using frozen fish allow it to defrost first. You can also choose the level of spice you desire as our Green curry pastes comes with three different spice levels! I'm using the Bangkok Green curry paste which is a medium heat here but you can also check out the Mild...
