Nam chim Nam chim Nam chim or nam jim (, ) is Thai for "dipping sauce". It can refer to a wide variety of dipping sauces in Thai cuisine, with many of them a combination of salty, sweet, spicy and sour. "Nam chim" tend to be more watery in consistency than "nam phrik" (Thai chili pastes). Although Sriracha sauce is commonly known as "sot Sriracha" in Thailand ("sot" is the Thai pronunciation of the English word "sauce"), it is sometimes called "nam chim Sriracha" or "nam phrik Sriracha". A more-or-less generic and basic "nam chim" is used for grilled or steamed seafood.
