How to Make Vietnamese Dipping Sauce Nuoc Cham
- Peel one medium carrot lengthwise using a vegetable peeler.
- Stack the carrot slices and finely julienne them into long, thin strips.
- In a medium bowl, mash 2 cloves of garlic with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until a paste forms.
- Add 1/4 cup fish sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bowl.
- Stir in the julienned carrots and mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more sugar for sweetness, lime juice for tartness, or fish sauce for saltiness.
- Let the sauce rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
