High Quality: Many variants of the Silver Pomfret brand are marketed as a Premium First Extract, meaning they capture the purest and most concentrated flavour profile. Essential for Asian Cooking: A few drops transform the flavour of countless dishes: Seasoning: Used in place of salt to season stir-fries, curries, and fried rice/noodles. Dipping Sauce: Forms the base for classic dipping sauces (Nuoc Cham) when mixed with lime juice, sugar, and chilli. Soups: Crucial for flavouring Tom Yum, Tom Kha, and other Thai soups and stews. Ingredients (Typical) Fish Extract, Salt, Water. (Note: Premium varieties may only contain Fish Extract and Salt).
