If you haven’t heard of nuoc cham before, you are in for a treat. If you have, you know what I am talking about. Sweet, salty, full of lime — can you hear the love and adoration coming across your computer screen, because I can feel it.
This is a super easy dressing to whip up if you have the ingredients on hand. The good news is that once you have the fish sauce
This sauce is perfect for rice noodle bowls where it clings to all the veggies, herbs, and rice noodles. Best to serve in a small bowl on the side of the main course and pour over just before people begin eating.

Perfect for so many Vietnamese Dishes
