Nam Prik Noom

Spicy Dip with Green Chilis

“Nam Prik Noom” ( น้ำพริกหนุ่ม ) is a dip made from fresh roasted green chilis, garlic, shallots, cilantro and lime juice, among other ingredients. It is often served with raw vegetables or grilled meat.

In Isaan, this dip is also found under the name “Djau Mak Prik” ( แจ่วมักพริก ), but is prepared somewhat differently there - for example, plaa ra is used instead of shrimp paste.
