How to Make Spring Roll Dipping Sauce Nuoc Mam

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup white vinegar, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely (3-5 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 2 tablespoons fish sauce.
  4. Add 1/4 cup shredded carrots and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings: Add more fish sauce (1/2 tablespoon at a time) and cayenne pepper (a pinch at a time) to your liking.
