Prik Nam Pla and Prik Dong are likely to be on every Thai household’s table along with small bowls of plain white sugar and ground chili powder. A spoonful of each are added to foods to suit each diner’s individual tastes.
Prik Nam Pla and Prik Dong (Thai Table Condiments)
Every Thai family has their own version of these popular sauces. They are always on the table…think the west's salt and pepper or Vietnam's nuoc cham. Prik Nam Pla is added to most any dish to perk it up. Prik dong is a chili vinegar that is a crucial seasoning for well-known Thai noodle dishes, including noodle soups, but can also enliven salad dressings, marinades, stir fries, and even mac and cheese.
