NONG PORN Fermented Fish sauce 1L

NONG PORN Fermented Fish Sauce 1L

Nong Porn Nam Pla Ra (น้องพร น้ำปลาร้า, pronounced nóng porn nám bplaa râa) is a fermented freshwater fish sauce — a product fundamentally different from regular Thai fish sauce (Nam Pla, น้ำปลา). While Nam Pla is made from saltwater anchovies and produces a clear, refined saline condiment, Nam Pla Ra (น้ำปลาร้า) is derived from Pla Ra (ปลาร้า) — a traditional Isan fermented freshwater fish paste — and carries a much stronger, more pungent, and deeply umami flavour profile. It is an essential ingredient in northeastern Thai (Isan) cuisine, used to season Som Tum (ส้มตำ), Larb (ลาบ), and various Isan dipping sauces and soups. The 1L bottle is the bulk size in the Nong Porn Nam Pla Ra range, suited to households that cook Isan dishes regularly or small food businesses requiring a larger supply.

• Product type/variant: Fermented freshwater fish sauce (Nam Pla Ra) — Nong Porn brand, 1L bottle
