Vietnamese Dipping Fish Sauce Recipe (nước Chấm/nước Mắm Chấm)
  1. Combine 6 tbsp water and 2 tbsp sugar in a bowl. Optional: heat ⅓ of the water, then mix in to make dissolving the sugar easier, then add the rest of the water.

  2. Add 1.5 tbsp freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice in increments until you like how it tastes. A good guide is it should taste like lemonade/limeade.

  3. Add 2 tbsp fish sauce in small increments until you like how it tastes. It should be a little strong since it will be paired with unseasoned food.

  4. Top with ½ clove minced garlic and ½ minced bird's eye or Thai chile then serve.
