Nam pak sathon is a condiment from the Dan Sai district of Loei province. With a salty flavour, people in Loei replace fish sauce and nam pla ra (fermented fish sauce) with nam pak sathon when making som tam (spicy papaya salad), jaew dam (Isan style sauce) and other Isan dishes. Thus, when TCDC Commons at Seacon Square Srinagarindra held the workshop "Nam Pak Sathon", 15 participants learned about the condiment and how to use it in dishes.
"Nam pak sathon is an Otop product of the Dan Sai community. Its taste is similar to fermented fish sauce. Nam pak sathon contains less sodium than fish sauce. Moreover, since nam pak sathon is made from vegetables, vegans can use it as a condiment," said Pamuk Yukong, service manager of TCDC Commons.
