THAI NAM JIM

BY BANGO KITCHEN'S NICK ARCHER

SERVES: 2 PREPARATION: 10mins COOKING: -

If you enjoyed our Silent Bistro, the team at Bango Kitchen have put together an epic recipe for you to try at home.

Here’s a little taste of the Bango Kitchen menu—bursting with HUGE flavour and endless possibilities for you to recreate in your own kitchen.

Thai Nam Jim is traditionally a Thai dipping sauce. If you know Bango, you know they don’t do “traditional” very well... They prefer to throw the rulebook out the window and just make seriously tasty food happen!

Bango use Nam Jim to dip, dunk, drizzle, dress, glaze, torch, and everything in between!

They're sharing the recipe with you, but if you like it a little spicier, stickier, fishier, more aromatic, or sweeter—go ahead and tweak it to your taste!
