Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese Dipping Sauce/Dressing)
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!

Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Dipping Sauce Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Dipping Sauce
You can call these salad rolls, fresh spring rolls, Vietnamese spring rolls, or whatever you like! I just want to share my special Vietnamese dipping sauce recipe, a family secret from my mother. It goes perfectly with fresh vegetables. This version doesn’t use lime or vinegar, making it great for older adults who may have joint pain from those ingredients. My mother-in-law has gout, so I adapted the recipe so she can enjoy it too.

Cilantro Chutney (Dipping sauce)🍵 Cilantro Chutney (Dipping sauce)🍵
I obtained the original recipe from “ Lord Krishna’s Cuisine: The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking” by Yamuna Devi, my favorite recipe book. I substituted the grated coconut/almonds for walnuts as well as replaced the green chilies for red chilli flakes and let me tell you, this chutney was like nothing I ever had before. I was surprised to learn the balance of sweet and hot compliments the cilantro extremely well and it adds a subtle kick to it that keeps you coming back for more. Try it out !Notes:- You can substitute the sour cream for yogurt.#CA2025
