Nam Phrik Ong, or Thai pork and tomato dip (Thai: น้ำพริกอ่อง), is a traditional Northern Thai food. To simply describe it, Nam Phrik Ong is a Thai version of a bolognese sauce. The name “Nam Phrik Ong” came from combining the words “Nam Phrik” and “Ong”. “Nam Phrik” means a hot sauce that is a combination between “Nam”, which means water or liquid, and “Phrik”, which means chilli. “Ong” is used only for identifying the dish, and has no special meaning. The main ingredients of Nam Phrik Ong are pork, tomatoes, and chilli. The tomatoes and chilli colour the sauce orange. Nam Phrik Ong tastes sour, salty, and slightly hot. Some of dishes can be a little sweet, depending on preference.
