The peppers also lose their kick over time but do transfer some to the nam blah itself. Different brands of Nam Blah has different tastes, not all smell so strongly or taste so fishy. Nam blah is used by Thais as we use salt, they don't use granulated salt because salt will draw water from the very humid tropical air and become wet, putting a few rice grains in the salt shaker helps but it's still a problem with salt shaker tops getting clogged. The air in Thailand is also humid, when you pour cold water into a glass the outside of the glass will become immediately dripping wet which is why you are given a glass with a deep coaster to catch the water and keep the glass from dripping water all over your pants or skirt - embarassing. When you handle Thai peppers washing with water alone won't help, the pepper oil isn't water soluable, you must use some kind of soap. The oil in the peppers is very persistant. Be aware of your hands getting near your eyes, if you haven't washed your hands VERY thoroughly and unconsciously touch your eyes you will know it immediately and for a good long while. Ask me how I know.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02241087374530759877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803107431544016726.post-34717576912045443732007-08-15T23:30:00.000-07:002007-08-15T23:30:00.000-07:00Steamykitchen, I love this sauce on Thai drunk noo...Steamykitchen, I love this sauce on Thai drunk noodles!
