Nam Prik Narok Dipping Sauce (Hell Fire Sauce)
1 oil to deep fry
2 lb filleted freshwater fish
1 cup green prik ki nu
1 cup red prik ki nu
1/2 cup garlic
1/2 cup shallots
3 tablespoon shrimp paste
1/4 cup fish sauce
4 tablespoon palm sugar
Flake the fish and deep fry until the flakes turn golden brown. Chop the chilies, shallots and
garlic, then [charcoal] broil them briefly and beat the ingredients together in a mortar and pestle
or food processor to form a smooth paste. Place in a small saucepan or wok, and cook on medium high
until the mixture forms a bubbling paste. The resultant sauce paste may be stored, when cold, in a
tight fitting jar, for several weeks. variants: This can also be made with pork (yum moo), or even
with shrimp (yum khoong). An interesting variant is to use thinly sliced luncheon meat or even
SPAM. I have also made it with the "pressed meat" sandwich products available in US supermarkets.
Vegetarians can experiment with using a julienned vegetable mix in place of the meat. Recipe By:
