Blend Your Own Vietnamese Dipping Sauce

Anne Le, co-owner of Tamarine restaurant in Palo Alto, California (and former co-owner of Bong Su in San Francisco), makes Vietnamese dipping sauce by combining fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, vinegar, and sambal chile paste. Also follow Le’s sage counsel on how to soften the rice paper for spring rolls, how to assemble them, and how to keep them fresh.

  • happy i saw this! my mom's from vietnam but doesn't measure. i'm definitely gonna try this and see how it compares

  • I think that this is very good advice. I like how she doesn't command that a certain fish sauce is used in the preparation (but shows a brand that's not contaminated with fructose).
