Magic Sauce Nuoc Mam Chuom Food

Vietnamese dipping sauce or nuoc mam cham is the lifeblood of many traditional Vietnamese dishes. This sauce is predominantly made with sugar, fish sauce and lime juice which gives it the classic south east Asian flavour combination of sweet, salty and sour. Note: This is for 4 dipping servings. If using as a dressing then double the recipe.

When my children were young they could not pronouce the Vietnamese name for this dish and so I called it Magic Sauce. It was a good way for me to get the kids to eat plain steamed vegetables - with a sprinkle of this sauce or serve in individual sauce dipping dishes. We put this sauce on almost every Vietnamese savory dish, from rice to noodles to pot stickers to vegetables. This recipe is lighter and less fishy. This makes about 5 cups, more than enough for a family meal. I keep the rest in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator. Keeps for months if you do not add perishable items like garlic, chilies and lime juice. Add garlic, lime juce and chilies only in the portion you're going to use that day. Amount is to taste. When you're ready to use

There are numerous Nouc Cham sauces on this site. This one is really good. A big difference is simmering the first set of ingredients. I went to a local Vietnamese restaurant and they confirmed how important the cooking is to the flavor development. I found this recipe on Youtube. If you want to watch 2 guys make it, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJvNEUFtyHk I indicate my preference and added the shredded carrots for serving.
