hot oil (has the be the sesame based one, not the soya) and chopped scallions ... I am definitely gonna pick up the black stuff on (both) your advice.

Fish sauce is key ... just had thai fried rice for lunch in fact, sprinkled with some prik nam pla.

And yeah I have a jar of absolutely brutal thai chili paste as well ... it's nam prik pao style with the onion and garlic and shrimp and such ... consistency of thick jam ... it's pretty bomb stuff.
