Nam phrik long ruea

Nam phrik long ruea is a side dish in Thai cuisine, a kind of fried nam phrik that is normally eaten with vegetables.
It was supposedly first served in the era of King Rama V on a boat trip to the Suan Sunanddha palace. The cooks would fry the nam phrik with various leftover ingredients in the kitchen, such as pla duk fu, sweet pork and vegetables.

History

Suan Sunanddha Palace was the first place to cook the dish. Every royal dish that is served in the palace is said to have originated there. Queen Sadub Ladawan is supposed to have created the recipe for an onboard picnic of two sister princesses – Sohmdet Ying Naawy and Sohmdet Ying Glaang. This dish was written down by Mawm Luang Neuang Ninrat.
