This Thai sauce (Nam Jim means dipping sauce, while King is ginger) goes well with a number of dishes, including the Kao Mok Gai. It adds a hot, sweet, salty and sour taste to any dish, and I was pleasantly surprised as to how good it makes even tasty rice taste that much better. You can make it hotter by adding more or less chilies; we added only two. Make more, it keeps well in the fridge for weeks; store in a clean sealable glass jar.
Ginger Sauce (Nam Jim King)1" piece of ginger
2-5 small bird chillies
2-3 garlic cloves
1-2 Tbsp soya sauce
1/2 tsp Salt
