This Sauce Makes Everything Better

I put it on cucumbers and tomatoes 🍅

I love your positive energy🌻

You do not compromise on the chilies! SACRILEGE!! There is no such thing as TOO spicy! If you cannot handle chilies and touch your eyes then you shouldn't even be in the kitchen! REALLY! As Mark Wiens says "If it's not spicy it's not worth eating!" or something close to that. LOL
There is no such thing as too spicy and no such thing as too much garlic! That's the problem with westerners. They eat cardboard meals and think they are spice kings. BBQ is for sissies! Got hot or go home! LOL

Woah, it's one of the basic dipping sauce here in the Philippines too. :)

Tasty 💯 agree.

Downside:
Smelly mouth/breath/sweat.

😂 I think I need to make this. I made a stew from soy protein and it's so boring. Was trying to eat more vegan

We also have that sauce in the Philippines that we use to make our diah more delicious

I'm Filipina and I unconsciously do this from time to time like appetizers 😁. Thanks for sharing!

I met this WONDERFUL Thai Couple who had the most AMAZING Thai Restaurant in SF CA (Don and Patra). Good gravy! The first time I went, I was so taken with the food... and the Cook (The Wife) was totally entertained by my wonderment. The Second time we ate there she brought out the Prik Nam Pla. It was delicious! She got a little mad at me because I wanted to put it on everything, even the Thai Ice Cream she made. Their Galanga, Lemon Grass and Tree Mushroom soup was to die for. I miss them and their food so much!!!

You are delightful and your knowledge and instructions are great. I've learned so much from your videos. Before watching I knew nothing about Thai cooking. Now, thanks to you, I'm hooked. I have SO much more to learn. What great food! Thanks so much.

Yes, po we same po here in Philippines . love it in the table po

Is there a sub for fish sauce? I’m dealing with a severe fish allergy but still love Thai food. Would I do soy sauce and sugar?

Can't wait to make this tonight! We're having friends over for a Thai food pot luck with friends... followed by dominoes! Shd be lots of fun. I can never make things as hot as I want for consideration of the others so, this will allow me to adjust as I want! Love your videos!
Update: I made a red curry on rice and a Pad Thai - both chicken - and folks really appreciated having the option to make things as hot as they wanted! Thanks so much! Now I'll have to try your other sauce. Cheers fr the other coast (Nova Scotia)

This looks like it was meant to be enjoyed drizzled over some Hat Yai chicken. Looks incredible!

Can I substitute Honey for sugar as if so I think that that it would be the flavour I miss from my Thai friends cooking.

This is amazing! Thank you!!!

could you add diluted red vinegar or chinese black vinegar?

Thank you for the tips!

I see that there can be be a lot of variation in the lime juice and fish sauce ratio depending on recipe. Some other recipe I have seen instructed to have a bit more lime juice than fish sauce.

It’s true:
- I doused my cat in it - next morning it was a tiger
- I sprinkled it liberally on my car. It’s now 25% faster and the engine spins like a doused cat, that’s been left overnight.
- I showered in it and it made me sweat off 20 pounds forming a clone that now does all the hard, tedious or dirty work, and smiles and says thanks.
- I passed the bank holding the jar high and all my debts were erased or passed on to people I hold in grave disregard.
- I served it to my neighbour and she stopped talking at me for as long as she was eating it.
- I poured it in the sea and all the fish were like, aaah now we understand thanks for lending meaning to our being industrially processed and distributed!
- Sometimes I also put it on my food and it’s really good.

Prik Nam Pla on Pad Kra Pao + fried eggs + Thai Jasmine Rice.

Thanks to your recipe of course!

Damn! I watched this a few months ago, and forgot to give you an upvote. you now have my upvote. I wish I could give you another, just for that beautiful smile, and another for your presentation.

This kinda sauce is my jam!

that combination is something we often make in the philippines, too. we don't really have a name for it, but we definitely put patis, calamansi and sili together quite often

With raw vegetables like garlic, botulism can be an issue with stored prik nam pla.

I love your dishes the problem is only vegetarian dishes i can cook at home n no fish sauce etc so can i use soy sauce for the same if so how can i use it

I always use rubber gloves when I handle chilis 😂

Prik nam pla is soooo delicious ❤

This was very informative, and you are a delightful person - so I am a new subscriber!

Isn’t this also known as pokpok? I had something similar in koh samui,

After chopping chillies wash and dry your hands then rub them over with fresh lemon juice. I save the half lemon skin after squeezing out the juice to rub over my hands. It takes away the burn from the chillies or the smell of onion after handling.

grate one

I put this on everything. Perfect for families with varied spice tolerances. I love it on eggs, stir fries, & pasta. Thanks!

OMG We also have this here in the Philippines!! I don't think there's an official name for it but we also use this dip for almost everything too. However, our doctors advise against it because it's high in sodium bt this with any brothy dish or basically anything 🤤. Fish sauce and calamansi (lime is not common here) is a base for so many sauces here.

Throw in some green onions and cilantro. Perfect.

I add finely sliced mango. both young mangoes and ripe mangoes will work.

Dont let it happen just put chilly in the grinder and mixed it well 😂 i want to see customers reaction 😊

From India I love your style of presentation recipes.

A Khmer friend gave me some and I put it on everything until it ran out. I’ve been looking for it since but didn’t know the name of it til now. Thanks for the recipe!

When I was a kid, I would have this on my school meals!!! and also put fried chicken that the vendors would throw up to us in plastic packets if we dropped some coins.

Heeeey I was in Thailand so many years ago and I remember it was everywhere! Just one question: is it possible that there was a variation with cilantro and soy sauce included as well?

Hi P! Can you share link to your jars? Thanks!

OMG , you are amazing with this presentation !!! My mouth is watering !!!

Omg thank you, this worked like a charm!!! ❤❤❤

You can put any peppers in vodka and strain the peppers out. The longer they soak the milder they get and it doesn't take more than a few minutes.

We have a similar sauce in Vietnam called Nuoc Mam ❤

Awesome thank you for explaining everything ~ Love the Spice in Life. Thanks again from Australia
