Nuoc Cham Sauce Ingredients - Yahoo Recipe Search
AllrecipesMy personal take on a traditional dipping sauce. A little bit sweet, but mostly savory with a nice bit of heat. I make this a minimum of 24 hours before I use it to let the flavors mingle. Leftover sauce can be kept for three to four weeks in a sealed container in the refrigerator. If this isn't to your taste as written, experiment! Everyone's tastes are different! Some like their nuoc cham really sweet and mild, some like it tangy with heat. Mine tends to be more towards the tangy heat side. So, before you add the garlic, onion, and vinegar, sample it and adjust the ingredient amounts to suit your liking. Keep in mind that this recipe is LOUD when you first make it. The flavors mingle and mature a bit after the first 24 hours. I hope you enjoy!Food52Believe it or not a huge amount of the seafood we consume in the US comes in frozen from Asia---think maybe 75% of the shrimp sold in supermarkets. That includes places like Whole Foods. This is not necessarily a bad thing as long as the fisheries are safe. Recently I discovered farm raised swai being sold in a local big name chain. Swai is a Vietnamese catfish. You can easily buy it through one of the Safeway brand name markets. Nice texture and good value per fillet. So I went with a twist on the southern US down home fish fry. The dipping sauce begins with Nuoc Nam which at first smells like something you would use as plant fertilizer. But when it comes in contact with other ingredients and foods it is transformed into something spectacular. Serve this with cups of steamed short grain rice.Food.comThis is a basic dish that needs some preparation of the ingredients, but it is quickly prepared. In Vietnam this is served with a choice of greens, rice paper sheets, fresh mint and don't forget the dipping sauce (nuoc cham). Note: I served this with the ingredients I had on hand.
