Nuoc cham (Vietnamese dipping sauce) recipe video

Make an authentic dipping sauce to go with all of your Vietnamese favourites, including spring rolls and more http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/33380/...

It's easy to make your very own nuoc cham, the dipping sauce enjoyed ubiquitously on Vietnamese tables. You've probably tried nuoc cham if you've ever been to a Vietnamese restaurant, or certainly if you've had the good fortune to visit Vietnam!

The sweet, sour, salty and spicy combination of flavours in nuoc cham is a hallmark of Vietnamese cuisine, and it's easy to achieve with this recipe. You can enjoy nuoc cham as a dipping sauce for your favourite spring rolls, or pour it over Vietnamese noodles. Either way, it's packed with flavour thanks to chillies, rice vinegar, sugar and, of course, fish sauce.

To make a truly authentic Vietnamese nuoc cham, look for Vietnamese fish sauce. Thai fish sauce can differ in flavour, for example, so for a truly authentic result, search for a Vietnamese brand. In a pinch, however, you can certainly use any fish sauce you can find for the nuoc cham.
