Traditional Fish Sauce Dressing/Dipping Sauce

Instructions

  1. Step #1

    Add all ingredients directly to the Mason jar and then add 200 ml of water. Mix everything until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  2. Step #2

    Taste the sauce to ensure it is sweet-sour, mildly spicy, salty, and fresh. If adjustments are needed, you can personalize the sauce by adding more red pepper, vinegar, fish sauce, cane sugar, or water. If the sauce smells too strong of fish sauce, you can dilute it by adding more water.

Equipment

Glass jar or Mason jar with a capacity of 600 ml

Note

You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 2.5 weeks.

It's delicious both as a dip and a dressing for many dishes such as Vietnamese Spring roll. It also makes a great dressing for 'western' salads!
