Nuoc Mam Cham

250g jar Prep Time 5 minutes   Rated:

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.
