Magic Sauce Nuoc Mam Chuom Recipes

My personal take on a traditional dipping sauce. A little bit sweet, but mostly savory with a nice bit of heat. I make this a minimum of 24 hours before I use it to let the flavors mingle. Leftover sauce can be kept for three to four weeks in a sealed container in the refrigerator. If this isn't to your taste as written, experiment! Everyone's tastes are different! Some like their nuoc cham really sweet and mild, some like it tangy with heat. Mine tends to be more towards the tangy heat side. So, before you add the garlic, onion, and vinegar, sample it and adjust the ingredient amounts to suit your liking. Keep in mind that this recipe is LOUD when you first make it. The flavors mingle and mature a bit after the first 24 hours. I hope you enjoy!

Vietnamese dipping sauce or nuoc mam cham is the lifeblood of many traditional Vietnamese dishes. This sauce is predominantly made with sugar, fish sauce and lime juice which gives it the classic south east Asian flavour combination of sweet, salty and sour. Note: This is for 4 dipping servings. If using as a dressing then double the recipe.

Nuoc Mam is one of the most essential recipes in Vietnamese cooking. Nuoc mam is a sweet fish sauce recipe with a little sourness built into it. It is used and partnered with a multitude of Vietnamese culinary dishes that helps bring out the flavor of dishes like Vietnames spring rolls (cha gio), grilled pork and rice (thit nuong), and my all-time favorite pork and mushroom crepes (banh cuon).

When my children were young they could not pronouce the Vietnamese name for this dish and so I called it Magic Sauce. It was a good way for me to get the kids to eat plain steamed vegetables - with a sprinkle of this sauce or serve in individual sauce dipping dishes. We put this sauce on almost every Vietnamese savory dish, from rice to noodles to pot stickers to vegetables. This recipe is lighter and less fishy. This makes about 5 cups, more than enough for a family meal. I keep the rest in a jar or bottle in the refrigerator. Keeps for months if you do not add perishable items like garlic, chilies and lime juice. Add garlic, lime juce and chilies only in the portion you're going to use that day. Amount is to taste. When you're ready to use

From Kim Son Restaurant in Sugarland, TX and altered to make it even better. They spelled it Muoc Mam. I used to CRAVE this sauce on spring rolls and salads. It is so yum! I do not know how many servings this would make. See Kimson.com for more of their recipes.
