Papaya Salad Sauce 350ml (ZM)
The Powerful, Intensely Savory Seasoning Essential for Authentic Northeastern Thai (Isan) Papaya Salad
Nam Pla Ra is the deep, umami-rich, and distinctively flavored fermented fish sauce that defines the cuisine of Northeast Thailand (Isan) and Laos. Zab Mike, created by famous Thai singer Mike Piromphorn, offers an authentic, seasoned version that makes cooking this regional specialty easy.
This sauce is non-negotiable for traditional Som Tum (Papaya Salad) and other Tam (pounded) dishes, providing a depth of salty, savory, and complex flavor that standard fish sauce cannot replicate. The blend is pre-seasoned and ready to use, giving you the authentic Isan taste instantly.
⚠️ Flavor Note: Pla Ra has a strong, pungent aroma when raw, which mellows significantly when mixed into spicy, tangy, and sweet salad dressings or cooked in broth.
