Pla Ra

description Pla Ra Overview

Pla ra is a Thai fermented fish product used as a seasoning, sauce, or paste. It is made by fermenting freshwater fish with salt and rice bran or roasted rice, usually in a closed container; traditional production can continue for at least six months. The result may be a liquid or soft fish preparation with a strong aroma and is used in dishes including soups, chili-based relishes, and vegetable or rice accompaniments, especially in northeastern Thai cuisine.
