Nước Mắm (Fish Sauce)



Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup fish sauce (the raw one in a bottle)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 whole lemon
  • Chili if desired
1. Stir everything in a bowl. Squeeze lemon in last. Add chili if desired. Done! 

Fish sauce has a ratio of 1:1:2 for sugar, fish sauce, and water. The lemon juice is added for more flavor. Adjust recipe as needed.

This is great for dipping fish in, for rice platter plates, and is widely used as a dipping sauce in Vietnamese dishes.
