Khao Yam Dressing/Sauce


The dressing that is served with Khao Yam (a delicious salad with rice and fresh herbs and vegetables) is originally made with fermented fish, which gives it special flavor.

The sauce is served with the Khao Yam salad of course, but goes well with other salads too. It has a fresh, tangy, salty and sour taste.
