Nam Pla (Thai spicy fish condiment)

It stores in the fridge for a good couple weeks if you don’t eat it all before then. Note: the traditional recipe calls for limes but I’ve replaced it with vinegar. Nam Pla 12 Thai […]

I really need to remember to take photos of my food. This one was so good that I completely forgot. Make this when you have a few extra veggies in your fridge that need cooking/eating. Basically, you chop and sauté all the veggies in a pan until they’re cooked to your liking. Then you crumble […]
