Neua Pad Prik - beef with chilis
This is a quick, and fairly mild preparation for beef. It can also be
prepared with pork.
The prik chi fa used are a mild chili, about the length of a finger,
often called a "Thai Jalapeno" and "ordinary" jalapenos make a
reasonable substitute.
The seasoned fish sauce is the fish sauce from nam pla prik, found on
any table in Thailand. If you don't have any then take 4 tablespoons of
fish sauce, add a tablespoon of green prik ki nu ('birdseye chilis'),
sliced thinly, store in a stoppered jar for a week in the refrigerator,
then it is ready to use. The excess can be used as a condiment for this
dish.Ingredients
