How is Nam Prik Nam Pla Sauce used in Thai cooking?

Nam prik nam pla is the simplest, most essential condiment on a Thai table - fish sauce sharpened with chopped chili, garlic, and a good squeeze of lime. It lands all four Thai notes at once: salty, sour, spicy, and a touch sweet. Spooned over rice, noodle soups, stir-fries, seafood, or fried eggs, it's the little hit of zing that finishes a meal to taste. Every cook mixes it slightly differently, and adjusting it yourself is part of how Thai eating works.
