Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese Dipping Sauce)
This handy Vietnamese sauce does double duty as a dip for fried foods and a dressing for cold salads, such as this one with grilled shrimp. The sauce is a perfect balance of tangy and sweet, with fish-sauce umami and a little spike of heat. To tone down the fire, seed the chiles before mincing. For more intensity, double the amount of fish sauce and omit the water.
Ingredients
- juice of 2 limes
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1⁄4 Cup fish sauce
- 1⁄4 Cup water
- 1 medium garlic clove minced
- 2 small thai chiles stemmed and minced
