Addictive Dipping Sauce and Dressing for Salads, Vegetables and Meat
Nuoc Cham is the common name for a variety of Vietnamese dipping sauces that are regularly served alongside meat and seafood dishes. Recipes vary, but the basic flavour formula combines sweet (honey or sugar), sour (lime juice), salty (fish sauce), savoury (crushed garlic), and spicy (fresh red bird’s eye chilli), often with the addition of lemongrass. The result is a deeply flavourful and addictive sauce..
