  • Welcome to my channel, today I want to show you how to make, Nước chấm, which is the most popular dipping sauce in Vietnam. Some would consider it to be the lifeblood of Vietnamese cuisine. There are many versions of this delicious sauce but the recipe I am showing you is the most common.
    Everyone makes a slightly different version depending on their personal tastes. This recipe is a good starting point for everyone. If you like it to be more spicy, add more chili. More sour, add more vinegar or lime juice and so on.
    Nuoc cham pairs well with every savory food item in Vietnam. It also goes well with savory foods in general! Grilled food. Steamed, baked, poached, fried, this sauce really is the Jack of all Trades. The umami of the fish sauce brings every dish up to a 10. I can't wait for you to give this recipe a try and customize it to your own personal tastes.
    Recipe: (Makes approx. 1/2 quart. Lasts up to a month in a sealed container in the fridge.)
    300 g warm water
    70 g fish sauce (I use Three Crab Brand)
    45 g sugar (You can sub with monk fruit as well)
    10 g white distilled vinegar or lime juice (vinegar lets you keep the sauce longer)
    3-4 cloves of finely chopped garlic
    1-5 Thai chilis (depending on how spicy you want)
    Prep all your ingredients and combine. You can enjoy right away but it tastes better with age.
    Store in an airtight container with a lid.

    Went to a pho joint and had to find what this sauce was called immediately. By far the best sauce to pour over rice ive ever had.

      This is how my grandma n mom makes it. Traditional and not some westernized version. It is fish sauce, after all. If you like it, good. If not, then idk what to tell you.

    Grams is an odd measurement ngl. Like measuring your driving speed in nautical knots. Will go and convert on Google. Respect for the recipe tho
    SEE BELOW FOR TBSP / CUPS/ TSP:
    for the rest of the world who aren't psychopaths i mean mathematicians:
    300 Grams Water = 1.25 cups
    70 Grams fish sauce = 4.6 tbsp
    45 Grams sugar = 3 tbsp
    10 Grams vinegar / lime juice = ~1.6 teaspoon

      You can just use a food scale and measure out grams that way. No need to be rude, jeez.
