How To : Nam Prik Ka Pi with Pra Too Todd


This is " shrimp paste " I use 1 big tbs. to make this dish cuz this one is very salty so dont need to put so much .. oh the shrimp paste I am not sure where can find in malaysia but u can get it in Thailand everywhere even supermarket or fresh market..or you can buy it from Singapore...and maybe in penang ... not sure also but since its near to Thailand it should be possible to get it from there..I got mine from Pattaya,Thailand :) Thanks to my uncle he got it for me :) and its going to finish soon ...I will have to stock up again when I go back BKK this April :)

First step is pound chillies with garlic until fine and after that u can add the shrimp paste into the mortar pounder..

Now you can see that the shrimp paste and chillies ,garlic are mixed well..

Take the limes out ready to squeeze in the next step... i use 1 whole lime.


Squeeze into the mortar pounder....dont forget to take out all the seeds :) one more thing about malaysia lime is ... it has alot of seeds ... and its very tiny ..but... Thailand lime .. big seeds and not much ... funny !! but both also very sour hahaha

thats the dried shrimp... wash or soak it in the warm water for a while before using....

So now add it into the mortar pounder..


Add white sugar...normally I will use palm sugar...BUT my kitchen run out of palm sugar so use whatever it has and taste sweet just like palm sugar... hehehe

Now add some warm water ... to make the paste not so thick and not so salty...mix throughly one last time...

Then transfer it to the bowl :) garnish with some red chillies :)


Oh in Thailand we called " Pra Too " I dunno what they called it in malaysia... but my husband said its " Ikan Kempung " can buy from fresh market, some supermarket or even 99 speedmart sometimes ha ha ha. yeah I got mine from 99 speedmart... at RM 2.99 !! for 8 of them but small one ..

Turn on the strove ... heat up the wok,add some cooking oil.. and fry it ... if not enough oil it will stick to the wok and the fish will look very dry .. and we dun always turn the the fish while we frying it cuz the fish skin will stick to the wok...not nice to serve :) or if u dont like to take this fish u can use other fish as well... or u can just fry egg and eat with the paste also can !!


Now we got the fried fish and some veggies ... you can use many type of veggies if you want to..
such as carrot,boiled lady finger,boiled cabbage,boiled kangkong,fried egg with eggplant

,..etc....your choice you choose !!! anyway veggies are good for health so please take more veggies!!

So this is it !!! Nam Prik Ka Pi with Pra Too Todd

Its not I only take this long bean and cucumber BUT I only have this 2 veggies in my fridge..... I love veggies !!!

Serve with rice then Yum Yum !!!!
