You can call this condiment either prik nam pla (\u0e1e\u0e23\u0e34\u0e01\u0e19\u0e49\u0e33\u0e1b\u0e25\u0e32)<\/strong> or nam pla prik (\u0e19\u0e49\u0e33\u0e1b\u0e25\u0e32\u0e1e\u0e23\u0e34\u0e01)<\/strong>; both are correct, so don’t worry about the name. “Prik” means chilies, and “nam pla” means fish sauce, which are the two key ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thai people use Prik Nam Pla as an all-purpose flavor enhancer. It’s a tableside condiment you add to your finished dish, similar to how people in the West use salt and pepper, but you don’t cook with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prik Nam Pla offers salty, spicy, umami, and acidic flavors. When your Thai food seems a bit flat, these are the flavors it’s usually missing, which is why Nam Pla Prik works so well in many dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Thailand, Prik Nam Pla is everywhere. You’ll often see a bowl of it in food courts next to the utensils, on tables in some restaurants, or included with your takeout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
