# Prik Nam Pla: Easy Authentic Thai Dipping Sauce

Cuisine: thai · Time: 6 minutes · Servings: 1

## Ingredients

- 3 tbsp. fish sauce
- 3 tbsp. lime juice, or less to taste
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp garlic cloves, minced
- 6-8 or more fresh Thai chili peppers

## Steps

1. Khao Pad (Thai Fried Rice)  – Adds that salty-spicy kick that takes fried rice from simple to unforgettable.
2. Garlic and Pepper Chicken – A few drops of Prik Nam Pla wake up the garlicky flavors and add just the right amount of heat.
3. Spicy Basil Chicken Stir-Fry – I make mine mild for my kids, then drizzle on Prik Nam Pla on my own plate so it tastes just like it would from a Thai street stall.
4. Pad Prik King (Thai Red Curry Stir-Fry) – Add a drizzle of Prik Nam Pla right before serving to brighten up the rich, spicy curry flavors. It adds that salty-tangy punch that makes each bite even more addictive.
5. Pad Nam Prik Pao (Thai Chili Paste Stir-Fry) – A few drops of Prik Nam Pla add a bright, salty contrast to the smoky-sweet chili paste, bringing even more balance and depth to this cozy Thai stir-fry.
6. Thai Fried Eggs – The classic Thai breakfast topping that makes fried eggs taste next-level.
