Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese Spicy Dipping Sauce)

Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese Spicy Dipping Sauce)

This sauce can be used for dipping veggies, meats, or egg rolls. It’s also great spooned over a bowl of steaming hot pho or other rice noodle soup. For me this sauce IS the flavor of Vietnamese cooking. Enjoy! This can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.
