There is an important order and technique of using the mortar and pestle that creates the flavour of this dish that needs to be explained. You won't get it if you just "mash them real good". Specifically you need to explain how the salt is used as an abrasive at the beginning to make the a paste. That is the secret to giving this dish it's penetrating flavour.

Ingredients: 1 clove of garlic (peeled), 1-2 small chili peppers (lightly chopped), 2-3 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon of sugar (optional), and top off chopped coriander/cilantro. With all the aforementioned ingredients, mash up the non-liquid ingredients in the pestle and mortar, then add the liquid ones and mash up and mix it all up. Adjust flavor to your liking. Hope that helps. Enjoy!

I came to you...This dipping sauce looks delicious. I came to your site looking for a dipping sauce which also starts with jaew, but I believe is called jaew som. It has more of a broth type texture and is full of flavor and can be a bit hot (spicy-wise). I believe it has fish sauce, broth and peppers for sure, but don't know anything else. We had it at a Thai restaurant but were told it was a laos dish. It was served with sticky rice. They also said, like you mentioned about the Jaew Mak Lin sauce, that it was an essential part of the daily meal and served with sticky rice. I would appreciate any help you can give me in finding the recipe for this jaew som dipping sauce. It's one of the best things I've ever eaten!!! Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
