In many Vietnamese dishes from deep fried, salad, steam to noodles, fish sauce dip is often used as an accompaniment. A good fish sauce dip will enhance any dish. Here is how to make this simple sauce:

One cup of fish sauce
one cup of sugar
one cup of water.

Combine these and put on high heat just until it begins to bubble. Turn it off and let cool. Squeeze two limes, press four cloves of garlic in a jar. Pour the mixture of cooling fish sauce in the lime juice-garlic jar, keep refrigerated until use. When needed, scoop out one teaspoon of chili-garlic sauce in a small bowl, mix with three tablespoons of fish sauce mixture. Scoop and pour over a bowl of noodle or use it as a dip for a steam vegetables or other dishes.

  • I liked this but I would have like if the had writing or something to break down the process. Ex-husband is Vietnamese and miss the cooking was looking for something in depth so that I can recreate some of the food for our kids.

  • @rulistening75 Please refer to the recipe (the writing)in the more info box.

  • i love this song, its makes me inspired to make the fish suace even more

    

  • @lovepurple2022 Good for you! Listen to it while making the sauce. Be mindful with what you do, peace!

  • Hmm a good Vietnamese friend of mine does it without cooking. I'm sure there are different ways, but is this a more comin way to make it?

    He just does fish sauce/water/ sugar into a blender. Then puts cilantro/ garlic/ chilis. Then Serves it like that.

  • @bdix69 There are several ways to make a fish sauce dip, so it's up to you to pick and choose. I want to make a whole lot of it at a time, keep it in the refrigerator, and boiling the fish sauce helps to keep it from going bad too quickly. I have never heard of putting cilantro in a fish sauce dip mixture though, but be creative, if you will.
