Prik Nam Pla

Ingredients

• 2-12 fresh Thai chilis, chopped
• 30 g garlic (6-8 cloves), finely minced
• 3 tbs fish sauce
• 1½ tbs fresh lime juice
• 2 tsp sugar

Directions

1. Combine all the ingredients in a serving bowl and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved. Adjust the balance with more lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, or chilies to taste. Let the sauce stand for 2-3 minutes to lightly marinate and develop flavor.

Chef's Notes

• Thinly slice the Thai chilies and garlic, mincing the garlic finely if you prefer a smoother bite. Thicker chili slices will deliver more heat, so adjust the cut to your spice tolerance.
