Nam prik (or nam phrik, , Thai chili sauces, are a component of one of the most typical, everyday Thai meals. some of the most common Thai nam prik here: I think Thai nam prik ) is one of the most under recognized dishes, or meals of Thai cuisine. There are many different types of chili sauces that youll come across in Thailand, some ranging from spicy and hot, other are fish tasting, and others are sweet and sour. Some are more sauce like, others are almost spreadable, and others are more sticky or liquidity. Nam prik ) is the common name used to refer to all sorts of different chili sauces. The way you eat nam prik ) is along with a pile of boiled vegetables, which can included everything from long beans to eggplant, to morning glory. The chili sauces are also eaten with things like fried crispy fish or omelets. Also, a plate of rice is usually included in a full meal of nam prik ) eating in Thailand. You can either choose to take some vegetables or fish, and dip it straight into the bowl or bag of nam prik, or you can choose to take some fish or vegetables onto your plate and spoon on some Thai chili sauce to get a full range bite of everything including rice. Either way works well, and both methods of eating are equally as popular. Most of the time, Thai nam prik ) is seen as one of the most basic and everyday foods in Thailand and its available in nearly every market. Most Thais would just drop by their market, order whatever nam prik theyd like, and then vendor will bag it up, along with whatever boiled vegetables and fish they chose, and then the person will head home to eat it. Theres usually never seating. Youll also find nam prik ) at nicer restaurants in Thailand where they might serve nam prik as a sort of an hordeavure dish. However, you rarely find a street food stall that serves Thai chili sauces ) on the street, that also has tables and chairs for you to eat it right there. I was pretty thrilled to find this Bangkok street food stall that dishes up delicious chili sauces ) for lunch, and also has chairs for you to sit it. The first thing you do when you arrive is walk up to the front and choose all the vegetables and fish or other items that youd like and put them on a plate. One of the most popular Thai nam prik ) is nam prik kapi, chili sauce made with fermented shrimp paste - its such a delicious combination of fishy, salty, sour, and spicy. Along with boiled vegetables and the crispy fish, it was marvelous. I also ordered nam prik da daeng, translated from Thai as red eye chili sauce. It was less spicy than it looked (it looks on fire, but it had a nice chili flavor, plus a hint of sweetness to balance it out. Finally, for my third Thai chili sauce, I ordered nam prik pla ra, chili sauce made with fermented fish sauce. This was also delicious, a little fishy, but with so much depth of flavor. Along with the vegetables and chili sauces, I also ordered a pla too tod (which is a fried mackerel, a couple pieces of pla tod krob (crispy fish, and last but not least cha om kai (an omelet filled with climbing wattle shoots. Again, I think Thai nam prik ) is one of my favorite parts of Thai cuisine, I love the compound flavors, and of course, the general spice and strong flavors that normally accompany each version. I also really like the vegetables and fried fish that goes with it. So if youre interested in having a real local Thai meal, you should sample a variety of different Thai nam prik chili sauces. Youll find nam prik everywhere in Thailand, but usually for takeaway. If youre in Bangkok and want to try this place here are the details: Open hours: 11: 30 am - about 3 pm (usually Tuesday - Saturday, but just so you know, this is street food, so sometimes they are closed without warning) Prices: Our full meal here, everything we ate cost 130 THB (about 4) How to get there: The stall is located right at the base of Sukhumvit Soi 101 in Bangkok, just a 20 second walk from Punnawithi BTS station exit #1

Yay Mark & Ying Looks like I've got some answers to my thai chilli dips question. But this has now led to more questions. I didn't know about the 'Nam Prik' meal. So the chilli sauces are the 'star of the show', with rice, fish, veg as supporting acts. Like roast chicken being the star and the potatoes and veg being the support? This is such an incredible concept; and a bloody good one at that. ps. would you consider doing a piece on all the nam priks - names, recipes etc on video and book. ppss. loving the outtakes. Always make me chuckle. I didn't think you were going to make it with that giant cauliflower.

P'Mark that deep fried salty fish usually should be eaten together with rice. I usually eat that way because it's quite salty to eat that whole. Yeah, I grab it and bite that crispy fish and follow with a spoon of stream rice to reduce saltiness. That will be awesome combination in your munching if you do that. Also, the strong flavor of Nam Prik is designed to eat with a lot of vegetable too. It's very healthy to make you eat a lot of fiber. Do you think like me? Cheers, a Thai fan.

This makes me miss home so much Thank you for bringing the best of Thai cuisine to the world BTW, for the Nam Prik Ka Pi, the Pi is always a low tone, not falling. You only said it that way one time when you introduced it, but the ka pi with the falling tone on the pi means the lady bit, not the shrimp paste. :)

I remember my first trip to Bangkok, went to Chinatown. The waitress gave us steam cooked fish along with 3 condiments of thaichili sauce> At first, I thought they were not too spicy, until the fire sensation kicks it. I cried like a sissy. Looking how Mark enjoying those Thai chilis sauce impresses me.
