Nuoc Cham is a nut-free, amber colored, Vietnamese dipping sauce. It is easy to make with simple ingredients like garlic, lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, and sriracha sauce. Nuoc Cham is perfect for dipping Vietnamese spring rolls, and as a sauce to pour over grilled meat with rice dishes and summer salads.
Combine ingredients, adjust to taste.*
You could use room temperature water instead of hot water, but be sure to stir the sauce until the sugar dissolves completely.
*Add more sriracha or serve on the side as desired.
