Jeaow Som



Spicy, savory, sweet. Great for a dipping sauce, salad dressing, marinade.
I keep it on hand for spring/summer rolls, salad, egg rolls. On eggs. It's very versatile.

Jeaow Som

1/3 - 1/4 cup Nam Pa (Fish sauce)

1/3 cup water

1-2.5 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup+ fresh lime juice

3 or 20 Thai bird chilies

3-4 cloves of garlic

Stir the 1 tablespoon of sugar in water to dissolve. Set aside.

In a mortar place the chilies, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Pound until the chilies and garlic are broken down.

Add stir in lime juice, fish sauce, and about 1/3 of the water sugar mixture. 

Taste and adjust your seasonings. 

Serve with summer/spring rolls, in Vermicelli salads, with egg rolls. I keep it in the fridge for yum neua, crying tiger salad.

Alternatively you can:

1. Slice Thai bird chilies and garlic.

2. Used a blender/immersion blender for this.
