Vietnamese Dipping Sauce (Nuoc Cham)

January 28, 2008 | Chuck
Vietnamese Dipping Sauce (Nuoc Cham)

I have a lot of friends who love Vietnamese dipping sauce (nuoc cham). When they ask me for the recipe, I tell them it's a closely guarded family secret. However, I have finally received permission from my parents to disclose the formula. It took a lot of groveling on my part and even a few tears were shed, but I got their blessing.

Okay, I made the last part up, but wouldn't it be more special if it really was a secret? Anyway, every Vietnamese family has a dipping sauce recipe. The ingredients in nuoc cham are generally the same, but the proportions vary based on personal tastes and regions in Vietnam. According to Vietnamese cookbook author, Andrea Nguyen, "as you move south the sauce gets sweeter, hotter, and more garlicky."

This may explain why I don't like the nuoc cham made in San Francisco restaurants, which are generally too sweet for my tastes. My family is from the middle part of the country and I was born in Da Nang. It all makes sense now.

As you gain experience with this dipping sauce, adjust it to suit your preferences. There's no secret formula. It's just a simple sauce with a great blend of salty, sour, sweet and spicy. For some meals, I like adding or substituting ginger for the garlic (nuoc cham gung). The ginger dipping sauce is great with a meal of roasted duck and sticky rice.

I'm going to post the recipe for my mom's crab and shrimp egg roll (cha gio) shortly, which requires nuoc cham. To whet your appetite, I leave you with this picture.

Vietnamese Dipping Sauce (Nuoc Cham) Recipe

SND Note: This recipe is how my family likes our nuoc cham. Adjust the ingredients to your tastes, particularly the lime since the juice varies with each fruit. To make a ginger dipping sauce (nuoc cham gung), add 1 tablespoon of minced ginger.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup fish sauce (Viet Huong Three Crabs brand)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 of a lime, juiced
3-4 cloves of garlic , minced
2-3 Thai chili pepper, minced

Directions:
1) In a small sealable jar, combine water and sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add fish sauce, vinegar and lime juice and mix. Adjust flavors to taste.

2) Add garlic and chili pepper. The sauce can be stored at room temperature, if served the same day. Otherwise, store it in the refrigerator.

Makes about 2.5 cups

  1. *High five!* A fellow nguoi Trung. :)

    Funny! I was all set to post a nuoc cham recipe too since I’m working on my bun thit nuong post. Previous recipes I just give the ingredients without the proportions. I actually rarely make my own nuoc mam b/c my mom gave me a gigantic jar that I still haven’t finished more than six months later.

    I make mine on the stove though, with the burner on low, to evenly dissolve and mix the sugar.

    Yes, everyone has their own recipe. It took me ages — years, really — to realize that the choice of fish sauce makes all the difference. I only use Three Crabs, too.

    WC, [high five!], right back at you. My mom used to make it on the stove top too when I was young. But she switched to the no cook method 10-15 years ago. I just nuke the water a little bit to make the sugar dissolve faster.

    JEP, thanks!

    Lydia, the right fish sauce really makes a difference. I saw a TV show that had fish sauce tasting with different brands of Vietnamese fish sauce (small manufacturers and some homemade) and it was like a wine tasting… different fish sauces for different purposes. That would be an interesting and pungent tasting experience.

    Jaden, right on sista!

    Cakewardrobe, if you store it in the fridge, it can last up to 30 days. I’ve stored some jars much longer and I’m embarrassed to tell you how long. The shelf life can be extended if you don’t put the garlic and chilies in immediately, just add them on the day of use.

  17. Chuck said:

    Keith, I have never used palm sugar in nuoc cham, but I’ve seen recipes with it. You’ll have to heat the palm sugar with water in a sauce pan to dissolve it. Let it cool and the rest of the steps is the same. I really like palm sugar and use it all the time in our Thai green curry.

    Heather, no problem. I’m glad you love my peeps’ food!

    Josie, if you like peanuts, I prefer a peanut dipping sauce with my spring rolls. The sauce is a mixture of crunchy peanut butter, thick hoisin sauce, stock and a few other ingredients. I’ll try to post it in a few weeks.

    Thanks for the post.

    I’ve scoured the net for recipes of Nuoc Cham and found the ratios in this version the clearest and tastiest. I’ve supplemented palm sugar for sugar and added diced cucumber and used sweet habanero chili (a non spicy Venezuelan version of the chili but with the same flavor which suits the pallet of my amigos.)

    This is a really great basic Nuoc Cham recipe but there are few different tweaks you can do that will really raise the flavor of this sauce. For one, adding a half cup of brown sugar and reducing it for 20 minutes will give it a molasses like consistency that really goes great with fried fish. You can check out more recipes and applications http://www.getsauceynow.com. Vietnamese food and Nuoc Cham is really easy to make and versatile to use. Just like sauce, Nuoc Cham should be on your table as a staple condiment.

    I wasn’t sure what the delicious sauce I had at our local Asian restaurant. Your blog as one of the first that sounded like what I had …. wow! Nice work! I’ve been sipping it with a spoon!!! This is so, so easy to make! I subbed in some honey for some of the sugar (we’re beekeepers) and that worked, too. I will try the Three Crabs brand fish sauce in my next batch (can’t tell what brand I have – the label is all in Korean) I will try other recipes on your blog. Thanks, again.

    P.S. If you are looking for ideas, can you work on a recipe for authentic green chili salsa – made with serranos, tomatillios and cilantro??
