Ginger Fish Sauce

Try this tangy dipping sauce, based on the classic Vietnamese table sauce nuoc mam cham, with a rich, crisply fried appetizer called Firecracker Shrimp.

  • Total Time: :15
  • Yield: 1 cup 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/4 cup fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
  • 2-inch piece fresh ginger (peel and thinly slice against the grain)
  • 5 garlic cloves (peel)
  • Juice of half a large lemon/lime
  • 1–2 red chili peppers (slice thin; remove seeds to reduce heat if needed)
