Nam phrik ta deang (chilli relish)

Published on by CharinyaLeave a comment

Nam phrik (Thai: นํ้าพริก, pronounced [nám pʰrík]) is a spicy chili sauce/relish in Thai cuisine. For some households Nam phrik must be in almost every meal. Most of the time, nam phrik is eaten with a boiled vegetables selection, fried fish, plus a plate of rice. A Nam phrik dish is a low fat option and with the vegetables on the side this dish can be considered a healthy dish.


There is a Thai song in which a male singer asks a female singer “what did you eat that makes you this beautiful?” The female singer then replied “I ate nam phrik, which is why I am beautiful. My family is not wealthy and we eat Nam phrik every day.”
This shows that Nam phrik is easy to make and doesn’t cost much at all. Today I am going to share with you a nam phrik name “Nam phrik ta deang”, meaning “red eyes chilli relish”
Let’s get started.

Chicken with Diane sauce

Published on by Charinya

Chicken with Diane sauce. This recipe, cooked with love, delivers perfectly tender chicken breasts with a delicious sauce that you will remember for weeks.

To me, a highlight of the dish is that it isn’t too heavy. I find it a lovely dish for spring, with some winter flavours but without the accompanying hearty vegetables.

Ingredients

2 free range chicken breasts, skin on
Salt & Pepper
15 g butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 shallots
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Chopped parsley
