Vietnamese dipping sauce - Nước Chấm

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons fish sauce

Add:

• 6 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 1 chili pepper

Instructions

• In a bowl, mix water and sugar. Tip: Heat 1/3 of the water, then stir to dissolve the sugar more easily, and then add the remaining water.
• Gradually add lime or lemon juice until the taste is to your liking. A good guideline is that it should taste like lemonade.
• Add small amounts of fish sauce until the taste is right. It should have a slightly bold flavor.
• Add garlic and chopped chili, and dip away!
