This bold Vietnamese dipping sauce balances fish sauce with lemon juice, sugar, and garlic. A staple with spring rolls and rice, its sweet, sour, and salty flavors brighten lighter dishes.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Dissolve the sugar in water

3 min

Stir the sugar into the warm water several times, until it dissolves completely.

2

Combine the liquids

3 min

Add the fish sauce and lemon juice to the sugar water and stir well.

3

Finish with garlic and chili

3 min

Add the finely chopped garlic and hot red pepper and stir once more. Serve the sauce in small bowls with spring rolls or rice.

Reminder

Allergen: Contains fish sauce; avoid it if you have a fish or seafood allergy. Because the fish sauce is used without cooking, its aroma is strong; start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Prepare the sauce just before serving, as the chili may become more pungent as it sits.

Malzemeler oda sıcaklığında mı olmalı, buzdolabından çıkar çıkmaz mı kullanılmalı? Üzerine hangi sosu önerirsiniz?
