- Add the sugar to the warm water and stir until dissolved.
- Add the lime juice fish sauce and optionally the Thai chilis and garlic.
- Stir to combine.
Notes
- When making nuoc cham for spring rolls use equal amounts of fish sauce to water so 2 tablespoons water otherwise for noodle dressing use 5 tablespoons of water.
- Frequently Asked Questions:
- The sauce will keep nicely for 1 week. The stored sauce will loose that fresh citrus kick after a couple days but it is safe to eat. If you want to store it even longer leave out the lime juice and add it just before using to taste.
- It is usually very close. Many restaurants will use just vinegar for the acid since it costs so much less than fresh squeezed limes.
