      Just realised I've never reviewed this recipe! I love it! I've made it many times and followed the recipe. Sometimes I don't add too many chilis as my kids like it too, but not too spicy. Most recently I used it to top Vietnamese Vermecelli bowls (salad on bottom, rice vermecelli, grilled pork (Vietnamese grilled pork wrapped in Lettuce) and your dipping sauce poured on top. It was absolutely perfect! Thanks for the great recipe.

      Very good sauce! Used half a jalapeno instead of thai chili and it was still great.

      You don't have to use that much fish sauce in order to get the taste. My MIL only uses a few tablespoons per cup of water and her sauce is TO DIE FOR. I always request a bottle of it to take home whenever she makes it for dinner. I can never seem get the recipe from her because she says she doesn't measure anything, just eyeballs everything. I think she may just be too lazy to jot the recipe down. Anyway, I also omit the vinegar, it's really not needed in the sauce, so if you don't have it on hand, don't worry about it.

      Nuoc cham is good on everything. Try dipping egg rolls in it. To die for. My mom makes nuoc cham without the vinegar though and it is always at our dinner table. we used it on scrambled eggs even. :)

      Thank you for sharing this. It was great with the rice paper rolls that we had for dinner tonight. I look forward to having the left over sauce on rice.

      Was looking for something to accompany Vietnamese Marinade for Chicken when I came upon this dish and decided it would be a great way to use up some bean sprouts leftover from another recipe. Made the sauce as presented using Z-sweet in place of the sugar and let the sprouts soak up the sauce for 5-10 minutes. Just fabulous in the mix of flavors. Thanks!

      Really really good! Very nice on leftover rice, with some fried shallot and some chicken.

      Very nice sauce- It's very much like the sauce my mother made for crab. I used this sauce for a Vietnamese noodle salad dish I make. Normally I use a store bought Nuoc Cham, but this is so much better!

      very tasty, just a little too garlic-y and I thought it needed just a touch more water and sugar, but very nice.

      This was our first time trying Nuoc Cham and boy have we been missing out! This was outstanding. I used a serrano pepper because it is what I had on hand and served it with my crunchy shrimp wonton. I can't wait to try this on everything! Thank you NcMysteryShopper for a great dipping sauce I will use time and time again.
