Best Nouc Mam Cham Vietnamese Dipping Sauce Recipes
AUTHENTIC NUOC MAM RECIPE (VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE AND VINAIGRETTE)
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).

Steps:
- In a small sauce pot, boil 1/2 cup of water with 1/4 cup of sugar on low heat until it's completely dissolved. Once dissolved, set aside to let cool. Next, use a food processor to mince the garlic, 2 bird's eye chiles, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until minced and well mixed. Once the sugar water is cooled, add in the mixture and stir well. Next, add in the fish sauce and the lime juice. Stir until well blended. Next, add in 1/4 cup of cold water. Blend well. Sample the nuoc mam and adjust as needed. You may need to add more of one of the ingredients depending on what is missing. For added sourness, add in lime juice. For added saltiness, add in fish sauce. For added sweetness, add sugar. To store, pour it into an airtight container and put it in the refrigerator for up to 4 months.

NUOC CHAM (VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE)
This salty-sour concoction appears on every table in Vietnam, and is used as freely as salt and pepper. As an all-purpose condiment, it gets splashed, drizzled or sloshed over all types of dishes. You can make it ahead, and it keeps well in the fridge for several days.

NOUC MAM CHAM (VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE)
There are numerous Nouc Cham sauces on this site. This one is really good. A big difference is simmering the first set of ingredients. I went to a local Vietnamese restaurant and they confirmed how important the cooking is to the flavor development. I found this recipe on Youtube. If you want to watch 2 guys make it, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJvNEUFtyHk I indicate my preference and added the shredded carrots for serving.

Steps:
- Place the simmered ingredients in a pot and bring to a simmer. Do NOT out and out boil, just bring to a gently simmmer.
- I prefer to use chilis that have seeds and stems removed. Finely slice or maybe chop them. I find it has a smoother, cleaner taste. Vary the amount based size of chili, heat and your preference. Think 1 average size jalapeno for this size batch.
- After cooling, add the chilis, juice of 1 lime (adding a little lemon will make it even better) and the finely chopped garlic.
- If it is too salty for you add a little water or lemon or lime juice to taste.
- Serve in shallow bowls with some shredded carrots.
- It is wonderful for spring rolls and great on Bun or wherever Nouc Cham is requested.
- It will keep in the fridge for a fe months.

This sauce is delicious on just about anything including plain white rice. Wonderful on grilled shrimp. It is the sauce used for the Grilled Vietnamese Jumbo Shrimp on Sugarcane Sticks that I posted. Great recipe with many variations!
