Nam Prik Ong (Central Thai Style)

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.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Toast the chilies, chopped cilantro roots, shallots, garlic, and grill the shrimp paste until fragrant.
- 2
Pound the cilantro roots with 1 teaspoon of salt until fine.
- 3
Add the chilies to the mortar, followed by the shallots and garlic. Once finely pounded, add the shrimp paste.
- 4
Add the tomatoes and pound until slightly crushed.
- 5
Mix in the ground pork or pound it together with the chili mixture.
- 6
Heat 4-5 tablespoons of oil and stir-fry the entire pounded mixture, stirring to prevent the pork from clumping.
- 7
When the tomatoes are soft and smooth, season to taste (aim for a balance of sour, salty, and sweet).
- 8
Garnish with cilantro leaves.
- 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.

Serve with fresh or blanched vegetables and pork cracklings.

Pad Thai: Thai-style Stir fried Noodles Pad Thai: Thai-style Stir fried Noodles
I watch the people in the food courts of Bangkok and Singapore make this so quickly and skillfully with amazement.I've cut down on the spice. If you like it spicy, add some Thai chili pepper powder or chili flakes at Step 3, or serve the noodles with some chili powder on the side. Mix it in as you eat!Rehydrate the sen lek (Thai rice noodles) following the package instructions. If you use boiling water the noodles will melt so be careful. It's safest to rehydrate them in cold water for 2 to 3 hours, even though it takes time.Work through Steps 2 to 4 in one go. Speed is of the essence during these stages!Serve the noodles with raw Chinese chives and bean sprouts to make this even more authentic! For 2 servings. Recipe by Koyokkoyo cookpad.japan -
