Vietnamese dipping sauce (nuoc cham)

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 bird’s-eye chillies, finely sliced
2 t caster sugar
2 t lime juice
3 T fish sauce
3 T rice vinegar

Method

Mix together all the ingredients and stir until the caster sugar has fully dissolved. Divide the mixture into two halves, adding 1 T cold water to one of the portions to make a dipping sauce. Keep the other portion to use as a dressing for the prawn salad.

TASTE’s take:
Nuoc cham is the classic dipping sauce found on every Vietnamese table – it also makes the most perfect salad dressing. Add chopped shallot, cucumber and some shredded ginger if you want more of a relish.
