Nam pla wan

Nam pla wan is a traditional dip originating from Thailand. This sweet and savory dip is made with a combination of fish sauce, palm sugar, shrimp paste, shallots, sliced chili peppers, and dried shrimp. The ingredients are cooked over medium to low heat until the sugar dissolves. The dip is left to cool down to room temperature and get a sticker texture, and it's then traditionally served with tart fruit such as green mango, green apples, or firm strawberries for dipping.
