How to Make Spicy Thai Dipping Sauce Nuoc Cham
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the minced garlic, finely chopped serrano peppers (adjust to your preferred heat level), and water. Stir well to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more sugar for extra sweetness, more lime juice for extra tartness, or more serrano peppers for extra heat.
- Let the sauce sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for developing the best flavor profile!
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped peanuts before serving (optional).
