A delicious dipping sauce for spring rolls! I like to put it on pork chops or shrimp too, served over rice. Please Note: The sauce will be very thin. I recommend serving it in individual dishes for each person to dip their spring roll in. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons nuoc nam (fish sauce) |
2 cloves garlic |
2 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar |
3 dried red peppers (the tiny ones) |
1/2 limes, juice of or 1/2 lemon, juice of |
1/4 cup water, maybe a little less |
Directions:
1. Using a mortar and pestle, mash garlic and cayenne peppers together with the powdered sugar.
2. Add fish sauce, water and lime (or lemon) and mix well.
3. This recipe can easily be doubled.
4. Add finely shredded carrot and thinly sliced cilantro and green onion for garnish.
