Every kitchen must have limes.. Most notably is the use of limes in their famed dipping sauce nuoc cham. Nuoc cham is a table condiment used as an accompaniment for many Vietnamese dishes. It can be used as a dipping sauce for dumplings, small barbequed meat dishes or spring roll, or it can be poured over fried rice or stir fry. While it seems that every region, every town and every household has their on special recipe for nuoc cham the general ingredients consist of fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic and fresh chili. The lime juice blends well with the salty fish sauce and mellows its pungency. The taste is generally light and permissive to other flavours which it is matched. |
