Today, I'm sharing the third chili paste recipe: Nam Prik Ong. I specify it's a Central Thai style because I'm not sure how it's made in the Northern region. This version uses shrimp paste instead of fermented soybeans and has a balanced flavor profile of sour, salty, and sweet, which suits Central Thai tastes. Note: I apologize to my Northern Thai friends for modifying the recipe.

Ingredients

40 minutes
Serves 4 servings
  1. 150-200 gramsground pork
  2. 100-150 gramsdried chilies (adjust to taste)
  3. 5-8cilantro roots
  4. 10shallots
  5. 1 headgarlic
  6. 20cherry tomatoes
  7. 2 teaspoonsshrimp paste
  8. Seasonings: tamarind juice, fish sauce or salt, palm sugar, seasoning powder (optional)
  9. Cilantro - finely chopped for garnish
  10. Vegetable oil or lard
  11. Fresh vegetables of your choice for serving

Cooking Instructions

40 minutes
  1. 1

    Toast the chilies, chopped cilantro roots, shallots, garlic, and grill the shrimp paste until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Pound the cilantro roots with 1 teaspoon of salt until fine.

  3. 3

    Add the chilies to the mortar, followed by the shallots and garlic. Once finely pounded, add the shrimp paste.

  4. 4

    Add the tomatoes and pound until slightly crushed.

  5. 5

    Mix in the ground pork or pound it together with the chili mixture.

  6. 6

    Heat 4-5 tablespoons of oil and stir-fry the entire pounded mixture, stirring to prevent the pork from clumping.

  7. 7

    When the tomatoes are soft and smooth, season to taste (aim for a balance of sour, salty, and sweet).

  8. 8

    Garnish with cilantro leaves.

  9. 9

    Note: Some recipes may not mix the pork and tomatoes before stir-frying, which is fine. I do it this way to ensure the pork blends well with the chilies and tomatoes, and it prevents the pork from clumping during cooking.

  10. 10

    Serve with fresh or blanched vegetables and pork cracklings.
