How to Make 100 Authentic Vietnamese Dipping Sauce Nuoc Cham
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and fish sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- While the mixture cools, finely mince the garlic and finely slice the chilies (adjust quantity to your spice preference).
- Add the minced garlic, sliced chilies, and lime juice to the cooled sauce.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may want to add more sugar for sweetness, lime juice for tartness, or chilies for heat.
- Let the sauce rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop. The longer it rests, the better it tastes!
- Serve with your favorite spring rolls, fresh salad rolls, or use as a vibrant salad dressing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to several months.
