15 mins prepServes 10
A recipe to make a large batch (about 10 cups) of Vietnamese sweet fish sauce dip, Nuoc Mam Cham, designed for convenience and long-term supply without frequent preparation.
In a large container, dissolve 2 cups of sugar in 1 cup of boiling hot water. Once the sugar is fully dissolved, add 2 cups of fish sauce and 5 cups of cold water. Stir everything together. Finally, add the 10 minced Thai Birds Eye chilis, 1 minced head of garlic, and the juice from 2 whole limes. Mix well. This method allows for easy pouring directly from the container, eliminating the need to wash multiple utensils. The sauce makes approximately 10 cups and is ideal for dipping spring rolls, dressing vermicelli bowls, or serving with broken rice platters and other Vietnamese dishes like Banh bot loc, Banh Xeo, or Banh beo. Store for future use.
