AUTHENTIC NUOC MAM RECIPE (VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE AND VINAIGRETTE)
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).

Steps:
- In a small sauce pot, boil 1/2 cup of water with 1/4 cup of sugar on low heat until it's completely dissolved. Once dissolved, set aside to let cool. Next, use a food processor to mince the garlic, 2 bird's eye chiles, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until minced and well mixed. Once the sugar water is cooled, add in the mixture and stir well. Next, add in the fish sauce and the lime juice. Stir until well blended. Next, add in 1/4 cup of cold water. Blend well. Sample the nuoc mam and adjust as needed. You may need to add more of one of the ingredients depending on what is missing. For added sourness, add in lime juice. For added saltiness, add in fish sauce. For added sweetness, add sugar. To store, pour it into an airtight container and put it in the refrigerator for up to 4 months.

NUOC CHAM (VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE)
My 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!

SWEET AND SOUR DIPPING SAUCE
This is the only sweet and sour dipping sauce you will ever need! Perfect for spring rolls, tastes just like the one from the local chinese (and no pineapple juice!). After a few comments, I am modifying this recipe - please note that Aussie measurements have been used- 1T=20mls. If you use these measurements it shouldn't be too salty; if you find it is please let me know!

SWEET AND SOUR DIPPING SAUCE
A great sauce for dipping almost any Asian inspired dish in! Should you desire a thicker consistency than what this recipe yields, dissolve another 1/4 teaspoon of cornstarch in 1/8 to 1/4 cup of cold water. Once dissolved, stir the mixture into the sauce and continue to heat and whisk until sauce thickens.
