Nuoc Mam Cham
The perfect Vietnamese sauce that can accompany so many dishes. It is fresh, piquant and just SO tasty. Try it on anything noodle or salad! YUM.
This is the sauce you need when you make the wonderful Ho Mok Pla. However, it will go equally well as a dipping sauce with Fresh spring rolls, (yet to appear on here) or use as a salad dressing or noodle dressing. SO full of flavour, you will be transported to Vietnam instantly!
If you wish to keep this sauce for longer than a few days, we suggest straining it within a few hours of making to prevent the garlic and chilli from becoming too intense.
