Dipping sauce for a lot of Vietnamese dishes. You can save the leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a month. Add some chilli oil/sauce or cut up some Thai chilli and add to it when you're ready to use it for a little kick!

Nuoc cham (nook CHAHM) is that sweet and salty Vietnamese style fish sauce based dipping sauce that seems too watery to be considered a sauce in the context of most other cuisines but totally works in Vietnamese dishes like cha gio (deep fried spring rolls) and bun (BOOHN) (cold noodle salad).In my kitchen, it is a mother sauce of sorts, and there are so many ways you can dress it up. For salad dressing, you could add a splash more of an acid element like fresh citrus juice and some oil. You can add fresh mint, basil, or cilantro. A dollop of sriracha or chili garlic paste is also a great addition, as are a few slices of fresh chilies such as jalapeno, serrano, or even habanero.And the best thing is it keeps indefinitely in the fridge. You could make some today for your noodle salad, and whatever's left over will will taste just as good a month from today.

Once my friend invited me out to try Southern Vietnamese cuisine, I was very impressed with caramelized fish sauce served with crispy rice crackers and steamed vegetables. A countryside dish but irresistible! This aromatic dipping sauce is made by simmering some fragrant fried shallots with shrimp, together with pork, seasoned in sugar, caramel sauce, fish sauce, and fresh chili.

This is my take on this delicious style sauce using ingredients that I had readily available. Great with spring or egg rolls.

This Nuoc Cham Dipping Sauce is often used as a dip, drizzle over dishes and used in marination. It goes well with all meat, chicken, seafood, bò lá lôt, crispy wantan, fried spring rolls, fried food, fritters and many more.#CA2025#CookpadApron2025#nuoccham#lunch#dinner#snack#appetizer#fishsauce#dippingsauce#fresh#asian#texas#HEB#vietnam#vietnamese#fingerfood#horsdoeuvres#vietnamesefood#sauce#dip#wildbetelleaves#betelleaves#daunkaduk#bòlálôt

Street vendors in the Philippines use this type of sauce as an all-purpose dip for things like fish balls, squid balls, kikiam, kwek-kwek (fried and breaded boiled quail eggs) etc. If you want a sweet and spicy version add a few sliced labuyo chillies. 🇵🇭

It's perfect on any deep fried seafood!

This is a good recipe for Chinese cuisine

This easy sweet and sour dumplings sauce is perfect for dipping dumplings or Korean pancakes (jeon) it is so simple you can have it done in minutes!!

Getting some things off my fridge, like this. Great with gyoza or homemade spring rolls or eggrolls. You may want to add a tbsp or 2 of water for gyoza dipping.

Eat with fried tofu

Sweet Thai Chilli sauce is my most favourite condiment. I use it on absolutely everything so it's cheaper to make my own than to keep buying bottles of it every week. I have a few variations of it that I use for specific recipes but this is my basic go-to everyday version
