- n. B. sugar

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 5 minutes
Great, super simple seasoning alternative to fish sauce
Chop and mash the anchovy fillets (or sardines). Mix the soy sauce with the anchovies in a cup and season with sugar to taste (I prefer fish sauce, which has a slightly sweet, fishy flavor). The mixture can be used immediately, but the longer it steeps, the more similar it becomes to nam pla. It can also easily spend a night in the refrigerator. A small note: 1 serving of this recipe corresponds to 1 tablespoon of nam pla. The amount may need to be adjusted depending on the recipe. Another small – less Asian – variation: I like to use 1.5 times the amount of anchovies and stuff them into various hollowed-out vegetables, such as tomatoes or zucchini. Bake in the oven with a little cheese – delicious.
