Description

A cooked relish of dried shrimp paste (kapi), fresh chillies, garlic, and dried fish — fried together in oil until the components are cooked and caramelised, then seasoned with fish sauce, lime juice, and palm sugar. Nam prik long rua ('relish that makes you miss the boat' — the name suggesting the relish is so compelling that diners stay eating it through their departure) is a central Thai household preparation, one of the cooked nam prik category (as distinct from the raw-pounded category of nam prik kapi,, and the roasted category of nam prik num).
