?Nuoc cham is a Vietnamese dipping sauce typically made with fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, and chiles. It is often used as a dipping sauce for grilled meats or as a dressing for salads.
This was developed for people who did not like the taste of fish Sauce. Combine Garlic, shallot, Chile and Sugar in mortar and pestle and pound to a paste. Stir in fish Sauce, lime juice, vinegar and Water. When Sugar is completely dissolved, stir in carrot. Or you can combine all ingredients in jar with tight-fitting lid and shake until blended.
