Nam Jim Polamai
September 19th, 2008
You may not believe you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes Nam Jim Polamai but it is feasible. The key is to not eat Nam Jim Polamai or other high calorie sauces & ingredients every day but in moderation.
For example, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories per day, and then one day, I eat whatever I want - within reason of course.
I have been eating this way for the last month and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise habits or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have simply been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.
I also find it helps to have professional support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Nam Jim Polamai (Fruit Dip ? Thai)

First make the "dressing."
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons kapi (shrimp paste)
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons palm sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
Lightly fry the shrimp paste to bring out the aromas, and discard any oil that is forced out by the heat. Mix the ingredients with half the fish sauce in a food processor and taste add more fish sauce until it is just salty enough for you.
Variation: add up to 6 finely sliced red chiles.
Once you have your dressings, you are ready to make one of a number of Thai dips.
1: Nam Jim Mamuang
Prepare one cup of shredded green (i.e. unripe) mango, and combine it with the dressing.
Variation: Instead of shredding the mango just julienne it. If you use the chile variation of the dressing the result is a Som Dam Mamuang (an Isan variant - the normal som dam is made with papaya).
2: Use a cup of coarsely chopped pineapple (nam jim sapparot).
3: Try a cup of any chopped fruit.
4: A variation my wife calls Nam Jim Luk Koei (kai luk koei is "son in law eggs" and is done with fried hard boiled (quails) eggs in a caramelized onion sauce). Take a cup of mixed "round things" - maraschino cherries, cherry tomatoes, cocktail olives, hard boiled quails eggs. Mix with the dressing(s) and serve on cocktail sticks.
A variation my wife calls "devil’s finger food."
Take about 2 tablespoons of shrimp paste, and fry it. Mix in about 1 tablespoon of sliced red chiles. Use this mixture to stuff pitted olives (instead of the usual bland pimento) and serve it with a hot version of the chile dressing from above.
Caveat: Even I find this a little hot…
