Show Notes

Chef Ian Kittichai at Cuisine Concepts Kitchen in Bangkok, Thailand shows us how he makes nam makua, which means eggplant relish or dip. This northern Thai dish is made by pounding grilled eggplant, shallots, and chilies in a mortar and pestle along with some palm sugar and fish sauce. The relish is served with fried tofu skins, tapioca crackers, and cucumbers for dipping. Thai relishes, known as nam prik, are typically eaten as a side dish with steamed rice, or as a topping for grilled meats or vegetables.
