Central Thailand · the mortar — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms nam phrik as a type of Thai spicy chilli sauce typical of Thai cuisine, made with fresh or dried chillies, garlic and shallots. Quantities, the toast-the-kapi step and the mortar-not-blender rule are this book's own.

Các bước

Pound the garlic and chillies in a mortar to a rough paste.
Add the dried shrimp and pound again, then the toasted shrimp paste and Thai eggplant.
💡 A mortar, not a blender. Pounding bruises and releases; a blade chops and aerates, and the relish comes out pale and frothy instead of dark and dense.
Work in the palm sugar, then the lime juice and fish sauce a little at a time.
Taste and adjust. It should be salty first, sour second, sweet last, and hot throughout.
Arrange the raw and steamed vegetables on a platter with the fried mackerel and the relish in a small bowl.

💡 Mẹo

This is the meal, not a condiment. Rice, a nam phrik, vegetables and a fried fish is the oldest and commonest shape a Thai lunch takes.
Every region has its own nam phrik — nam phrik ong in the north, nam phrik pla ra in the northeast. Kapi is the central Thai one.
