Vietnamese Fish Sauce

The Vietnamese people eat fish sauce nearly every day in one way shape or form!!  We like to make this is the recipe my mother passed down to me.  I changed the white sugar to brown sugar.  We usually make this in a 24oz mason jar (recycled spaghetti jar).

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup fish sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (organic cane sugar is ok too)
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1/2 cup water

 

• 1-2 chopped garlic cloves (optional)
• 1-2 tbsp finely grated carrots (optional)
• 1-2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• Chopped chilis.

Directions:

1. Mix ingredients together in mason jar

2. Put lid on and shake.  Refrigerate.

3. Add chopped fresh chilis & carrots, chopped cilantro to tastes before you serve.

4. Serve with Vietnamese egg rolls, spring rolls, and other dishes
