Tai Pla (fermented fish entrails sauce)

Tai Pla (fermented fish entrails sauce) is a pungent, umami-rich Thai condiment made from fermented fish entrails used widely in southern Thai cuisine to add deep savory flavor to curries, stews and dipping sauces. It is known for its strong aroma and intense salty, savory character that forms the backbone of many traditional dishes. Nutritionally, Tai Pla (fermented fish entrails sauce) is a concentrated source of protein and micronutrients commonly found in seafood (including iodine, selenium and vitamin B12), but it is also very high in salt at 22g per 100g, so a small amount goes a long way. Because it is fermented, Tai Pla (fermented fish entrails sauce) contributes complex savory (umami) flavors and can improve protein quality in a dish, but its high sodium content means it’s best used sparingly or replaced with lower-sodium alternatives when trying to reduce salt intake.
