Nuoc Cham Dipping Sauce

  • Mix all the ingredients together and taste

Notes

  • GREEN RICE: This rice is usually served to celebrate the new season of rice and is a staple at the Tet or Luna New Year feast! The rice is picked green and pounded to make it flat.
  • We use fish sauce from the picturesque island of Phu Quoc, the home of the worlds best Nuoc Mam. The fish sauce should be labeled Nuoc Mam Nhi this means it is the first pressing or equivalent of the ‘extra virgin’ of fish sauce. To judge the quality of a fish sauce it should be crystal clear, deeply golden but not too dark and should create large bubbles when shaken, this indicates a viscous and rich sauce.
