Vietnamese Dipping Sauce –

Introduced to us by our Vietnamese family, this sauce is addicting… tho you may have to get used to the flavor of fish sauce. Mott’s been trying versions of spring rolls so we often have this sauce around – I will put it on anything to perk it up – leftovers, salads, etc. Ingredients are simple, you can alter to taste -

Vietnamese Dipping Sauce

1 garlic clove
4 TBL fish sauce
4 TBL lime (or lemon) juice
3 TBL sugar (or less to taste)
3-4 fresh hot chilies (optional)

You can also use vinegar, tho prefer the lime juice version

1 garlic clove
8 TBL fish sauce
6 tbl white vinegar
1 tbl sugar
3-4 fresh chiles ( optional)
