Nước chấm, or Vietnamese dipping sauce, is a staple sauce in Vietnamese cuisine. This nuoc cham recipe is made with fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic, and chili paste for a bright and umami flavor explosion that instantly elevates any meal.

My mom would make this sauce by the gallon and store them in every type of container she could get her hands on (ie. pasta sauce jars, empty greek yogurt tubs, re-usable novelty boba glass bottles, etc). This nước chấm was basically a part of the family. It was present at almost every dinner, definitely at family gatherings, and was ALWAYS available in the refrigerator.
