Nuoc Mam is one of the most essential recipes in Vietnamese cooking. Nuoc mam is a sweet fish sauce recipe with a little sourness built into it. It is used and partnered with a multitude of Vietnamese culinary dishes that helps bring out the flavor of dishes like Vietnames spring rolls (cha gio), grilled pork and rice (thit nuong), and my all-time favorite pork and mushroom crepes (banh cuon).

This is a recipe to make a flavorful Southeast Asian dipping sauce that takes minutes to prepare with no cooking required.

Adjust the flavors to your liking. Everyone has their own version and this is my favorite ratio that isn’t too watered down like many restaurant versions. I like the balance of bold flavors in the fish sauce, garlic, chiles and most importantly, acid from the fresh lime juice. I don’t make mine too sweet either, but it’s still delicious if you like yours sweeter. Have fun to fine tune your favorite ratios!

Vietnamese dipping sauce or nuoc mam cham is the lifeblood of many traditional Vietnamese dishes. This sauce is predominantly made with sugar, fish sauce and lime juice which gives it the classic south east Asian flavour combination of sweet, salty and sour. Note: This is for 4 dipping servings. If using as a dressing then double the recipe.
