NAM PRIK NAM PLA (TRADITIONAL THAI SAUCE)
This is the classic Thai condiment you always find on a Thai table, whether its a restaurant or home. It is spooned onto everything from fried rice to noodle soups. Tightly sealed, this will keep up to 2 weeks. There are many versions of this sauce, this is the one that my family likes. Feel free to adjust the sour (lime juice), salty (fish sauce), sweet (sugar) or spicy to your liking.

NAM PRIK NUM
(Charred Chili Salsa) In Thailand, vegetables are grilled in a grilling rack over an open flame. The method for charring described in this salsa recipe uses a dry-frying technique; you can, of course, char the vegetables over a grill instead. This northern Thai salsa is quite hot: The main ingredient is traditionally num, a long, medium-hot, pale yellow chili very similar to the banana chilies available in North American. If you want a milder taste, substitute Hungarian wax chilies for some or all of the banana chilies called for in the recipe. Remember that this sauce is meant to accompany sticky rice, not to be eaten on its own, so its flavors are punchy, with a distinct smokiness. Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Yield Makes about 1 1/2 cups, serving 6 to 8 as part of a rice based meal

Steps:
- Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over high heat until hot. Add chilies and reduce heat to moderately high. Dry-fry chilies, pressing down gently on chilies and turning with tongs, until blackened on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes, and transfer to a cutting board. Add shallots and garlic and reduce heat to moderately high. Dry-fry shallots and garlic, turning once, until softened and blackened, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer shallots and garlic to a bowl to cool slightly. Dry-fry tomatoes in same manner.
- Wearing rubber gloves, cut off stem ends of chilies. Slice chilies lengthwise, discarding seeds (unless you want a very hot salsa). Finely chop chilies, shallots, and garlic and transfer to a ceramic or glass bowl. Discard tomato stems and skins. Finely chop tomatoes and add with any juices to chili mixture.
- Add coriander to taste, fish sauce, and lime juice and stir until combined (salsa will be chunky and a little soupy). Alternatively, all ingredients may be chopped together in a food processor, but the salsa has a more traditional coarse texture when chopped by hand. Let salsa stand, covered, 30 minutes to blend and mellow flavors. Salsa keeps, covered and chilled, 5 days.
- Serve salsa at room temperature with rice, cucumbers, and lettuce leaves for scooping.

NAM PRIK
Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients and stir; make sure the sugar dissolves.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary (I often add more nam pla). Let rest for a few minutes before serving or cover and refrigerate for about a day (return to room temperature before using).
Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor for the grilled fish, use a charcoal grill or grill pan set over medium-high heat.
- Make sure the fish is cooked through before removing it from the grill. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) as measured by a meat thermometer.
- To save time, you can marinate the fish overnight in the refrigerator. This will help to infuse it with flavor.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the fish in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat.
- For the grilled vegetables, choose a variety of colorful vegetables that will hold their shape well when grilled, such as bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms.
- To make the nahm prik, use fresh, ripe ingredients. The flavors will be more vibrant and complex.
- If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can use a blender or food processor to make the nahm prik. Just be careful not to over-process it, as you want to retain some texture.
- Serve the grilled fish and vegetables with the nahm prik and steamed rice. You can also add a side of fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil.
Conclusion:
This Thai-style grilled fish with nahm prik and grilled vegetables is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The fish is grilled to perfection and the vegetables are tender and flavorful. The nahm prik is a tangy and spicy sauce that adds a nice kick to the dish. Overall, this is a well-balanced and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
