Thailand
Ingredients
  Chilli pastes: (Nam Prik)
May be bought or made at home. Nowadays most Thai people buy paste in the market. You can buy it yourself in any Asian supermarket in a packet.
 
  Fish Sauce: (Nam Blah)
Made from small fermented fish. Used instead of salt because it has a better flavour. However you may use salt if fish sauce is unavailable.
 
  Oyster Sauce: (Nam Mann Hoy)
This is made from soy sauce with oyster extract and brings out the flavour of the food.
 
  Palm Sugar (Nam Taan Peep)
Used with deserts and gives a fuller flavour than commercial sugars. Comes in blockes or peices. Can use brown or demerara sugar as a substitute.
 
  Soy Souce: (See-Eu Khao)
Made from soy beans. Used the same way as fish sauce which you can use as a substitute
 
  Mushroom Sauce: (Sauce Hed Horm)
This is made from soy sauce with mushroom extract and bringing out the flavour of the food.
 
  T.V.P.: Textured Vegetable Protein
For vegeterians. Made from mung beans and shapes like a meal. Needed to soak with the water (1-2 mins.) before use.
