--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        oil to deep fry
   2      pounds        filleted white fleshed freshwater fish
   1      cup           green prik ki nu
   1      cup           red prik ki nu
     1/2  cup           garlic
     1/2  cup           shallots
   3      tablespoons   shrimp paste
     1/4  cup           fish sauce
   4      tablespoons   palm sugar

Flake the fish and deep fry until the flakes turn golden brown. Chop
the chilies, shallots and garlic, then [charcoal] broil them briefly
and beat the ingredients together in a mortar and pestle or food
processor to form a smooth paste. Place in a small saucepan or wok,
and cook on medium high until the mixture forms a bubbling paste.

The resultant sauce paste may be stored, when cold, in a tight
fitting jar, for several weeks.

variants:

This can also be made with pork (yum moo), or even with shrimp (yum
khoong). An interesting variant is to use thinly sliced luncheon meat
or even SPAM. I have also made it with the "pressed meat" sandwich
products available in US supermarkets. Vegetarians can experiment with
using a julienned vegetable mix in place of the meat.
