AUTHENTIC NUOC MAM RECIPE (VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE AND VINAIGRETTE)



Authentic Nuoc Mam Recipe (Vietnamese Dipping Sauce and Vinaigrette) image

Nuoc Mam is one of the most essential recipes in Vietnamese cooking. Nuoc mam is a sweet fish sauce recipe with a little sourness built into it. It is used and partnered with a multitude of Vietnamese culinary dishes that helps bring out the flavor of dishes like Vietnames spring rolls (cha gio), grilled pork and rice (thit nuong), and my all-time favorite pork and mushroom crepes (banh cuon).
