How to Make Nuoc Cham Vietnamese Dipping Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of hot water and 1/4 cup of grated palm sugar.
- Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add 1/4 cup fish sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1-2 Thai chilies finely minced (adjust to your spice preference), and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more sugar for sweetness, fish sauce for saltiness, lime juice for tartness, or chilies for heat.
- Let the sauce sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
