    Fish sauce is an amazing ingredient! Besides the regular way we use it in Asian cooking, I also put a splash into my pasta sauce when seasoning at the end (not too much - you don't want it to become too fishy). I also use it in replacement of anchovies when preparing caesar salad dressing.

    In Italy we have something called "colatura di alici" that's practically the same thing, and it's something that's comes all the way from the time the Romans made "garum". We usually use it especially in a part of Italy called "costiera Amalfitana" as a condiment for pasta

    i sometimes use it when making leftover -food fried rice, but it usually makes the entire apartment smell like the ocean, so i usually don't actually cook with it, but rather making a sauce with sugar, lemon, garlic and chili to eat with rice noodles, rice or a vietnamese cheong fan called bánh cuốn

Fish sauce with vinger and chilli goes soo well with bbq or tapas hahaha. Btw I'm from Australia and now for the 1st time Australia has it's own fish sauce made and owned by a Vietnamese family soo thankful and proud of them lol.

    "Raw", as in just sprinkle some directly from the bottle onto the rice (hot or cold), mix it up a bit and there's dinner. And most of the time it simply replaced salt in our cooking.

    It's fermented fish. It needs about one year to mature in big wooden tanks before it becomes the clear liquid that you see at the store. We also have another version for people with "strong stomach": "mắm nêm". You can actually see the fish in there.

    Yes it's salty, sour, and funky (fermented). But like salt, it's not meant to be consumed on its own. To make dipping sauce, my rule of thumb is to make a sweet lemonade (water, sugar, lemon) and then add fish sauce to taste :)
