      My fave dipping sauce. I pretty much can't eat any steamed boiled or even fried seafood without it.

      Delicious! Have tried many other versions of Thai seafood sauce but the flavours of yours are the most balanced (according to my palate). Thank you!

      Hi Pai, I made this sauce today to accompany plain boiled shrimp served with hot jasimine rice. This recipe is easy and delicious. Thank you so much for sharing it.

      Easily the best sauce for any type of seafood, or even fish. You can even add a big hit of coriander leaves and crushed cashews and put it over steak a la chimichurri!

      Is there a substitution for palm sugar if we can't find it easily?

        Not exactly a substitute but any sugar with some flavour, like Demerara, would work well
