Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons palm sugar (or granulated sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon red holland chili pepper (or Thai chili for more heat; sliced/chopped)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar into the hot water. Once dissolved, stir in the fish sauce and rice vinegar.
  2. When you are ready to serve the nuoc cham, add the freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, and chopped chilies. These items are best added fresh.
  3. If you like more heat, use fresh chopped Thai chili peppers instead of Holland chilies. They’ll give the sauce a spicier kick!
