Simple Vietnamese Dipping Sauce (Nước Chấm Style)

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Makes: About ½ cup

Every Vietnamese meal needs a dipping sauce. Use TUYET as the savoury base, then customize depending on what you're serving.

Base Dipping Sauce

• 2 tbsp TUYET Premium Cooking Sauce
• 1 tbsp warm water
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
• 1 tsp sugar (optional)
• 1 small chili, sliced thin (or chili flakes to taste)
• Also create your custom sauce with Tuyet Sauce a base

Instructions: Stir everything together until sugar dissolves. Taste and adjust — more TUYET for saltier, more lime for tangier, more chili for heat.
