Great sauce. I especially like it because it isn't so salty like sauces that use soy sauce. When making white rice I used half water and half this sauce. Very tasty.

I've been making this sauce for years. First of all, I would double the recipe, second combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to boil, the heat intensify the flavor, especially the garlic. I keep tasting it and adding more fish sauce, lime juice and sugar as needed until I like it. Doing it this way, you also dissolve all the sugar, so the sugar wouldn't just settle to the bottom.

I am by no means a fish sauce person, but I can tolerate it when made like this. We served this with fried gourd and certainly a little goes a long way. I would suggest adding a little pickled ginger (chop up fresh ginger into matchstrips and stuff into a jar...add enough regular vinegar to cover and let sit at least 30 minutes) to give it an extra layer of flavor...but it's good as is. Thanks Maryellen.

instead of water, my mom adds 'coco soda' that you can buy at the market. don't add too much or it'll be too sweet.

This was..ok I thought. Personally preference I guess but I won't make it again. My son (who is the pickiest eater EVER) actually really liked it. But he won't notice if I dont make it again so I wont. It was just........bland to me.

Good recipe. So simple. Per other reviewers, I reduced the garlic to 1/2 a clove and reduced water to 1/2 a cup. Served with Vietnamese pork chops, rice, and fresh cucumber slices. Tasted very much like the restaurants. Now I can satisfy cravings at home!

Just like the local Vietnamese restaurant! The ratios are pretty spot on! [I left out the garlic as I don't normally see it in the sauces at the places I eat.]
