Nuoc Mam

This native sauce is made from a fermented mixture of fish, water and sugar. It's strong-smelling, sour-tasting and served with just about everything, from cha gio to...you guessed it...fish!

Reader Minh Dinh Nguyen writes, "The first 'juice' is best quality, and carries a dear price in VN. Afterward, the producers add extra salt, water, sugar and food coloring to extract more sauce."
