Nước Chấm (Vietnamese Fish Sauce)
Cuisine: Vietnamese
Difficulty Level: Easy
Ingredients:
½ cup sugar
½ cup boiling water
½ cup white vinegar
½ cup fish sauce (I prefer Squid brand, but any fish sauce brand is fine)
1 garlic clove, finely sliced
1 chili, finely sliced
Instructions:
In a bowl, mix sugar with boiling water, so that the sugar dissolves
Add in the white vinegar and the fish sauce
Mix together
Finely cut up 1 garlic clove and 1 chili
Stir in the garlic and chili into the sauce
Store the sauce in a jar or a container with a lid in the fridge
Tip: If you plan on making Vietnamese food regularly, it’s always a good idea to have a jar of Vietnamese fish sauce ready in the fridge. Feel free to make as much or as little as you like. Just remember to use equal proportions of boiling water, sugar, vinegar and fish sauce.
