Hi Foodies! 

Here is another pepper dip I LOVE to eat with grilled beef, pork, or chicken. My family loves this dip since it’s not so spicy. SPICE LEVEL: 2.5/5

It’s sour, sweet, salty, and a little spicy. What makes this dip great is the addition of the toasted rice powder. It adds great nuttiness and great balance to all the other ingredients. It’s so addicting, my brothers can eat a whole bowl in one go. IT’S THAT GOOD! This dip is well known in Thailand as Nam Jim Jaew. They love eating it with their grilled beef and pork. It’s super easy to make so here is my recipe. Enjoy! 

Basic Ingredients 

Lime juice, tamarind concentrate, toasted rice powder, fish sauce, slice shallots, chili pepper flakes, green onion, cilantro, and palm sugar. 

Mix all together in a bowl and ENJOY! So easy! 

Serve with grilled pork, beef, or chicken. It’s good on all meats. 🙂 

DIP DIP! 

It’s amazing with STEAK! 

Steak and sticky rice. I’m in heaven. DROOLS 

Sour, sweet, spicy, salty.

Notes

This dip is good the day of. If you make it a day ahead, the toasted rice powder will absorb most of the liquid and make the dip thick. It won't taste as good as the day of. Add less sugar if you want it less sweet.
