Nuoc Cham (Fish Sauce or Vietnamese Dipping Sauce) Recipe
- Add fish sauce, water, sugar, and lime juice to a small bowl and mix well. Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved.
Notes
- To jazz up the taste, add some garlic chili sauce and mix well with the fish sauce (nuoc cham) before serving.For the nuoc cham recipe, different brand of fish sauce tastes differently, so adjust the sugar, warm water level to your liking. If it's too salty or strong for your taste, add more water and sugar.For fish sauce, I recommend 3 Crabs brand Fish Sauce.
