Nam prik is the backbone of the northern meal, a chilli relish eaten with sticky rice and vegetables rather than as a sauce. Nam prik noom uses mild long green chillies roasted over flame until the skins blister, then pounded with charred garlic and shallot, fish sauce and lime into a soft, smoky, spoonable paste. It is almost always served alongside nam prik ong, a tomato-and-pork red version, with a platter of steamed and raw vegetables, crisp pork crackling (khaep moo) and a basket of sticky rice. Together they define the shared, hands-on rhythm of a Lanna table.
