作り方
手順
- 1
Finely mince the garlic clove using a sharp chef's knife or a garlic press.
約2 分
調理のヒント: For a smoother sauce, you can grate the garlic on a microplane. Ensure it's very fine to avoid large chunks.
- 2
Carefully slice the Thai chili into very thin rounds or mince it finely, removing seeds if you prefer less heat.
約2 分
調理のヒント: Always wear gloves when handling chilies to prevent skin irritation, and avoid touching your eyes.
- 3
Shred the carrot using a fine grater or julienne peeler into small, delicate strips.
約2 分
調理のヒント: The finely shredded carrot adds a subtle sweetness and visual appeal without overpowering the sauce's texture.
- 4
In a small mixing bowl, combine the warm water and granulated sugar.
調理のヒント: Using warm, not hot, water helps the sugar dissolve quickly without cooking the other ingredients later.
- 5
Whisk the mixture vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the liquid is clear.
約2 分
調理のヒント: Ensure no sugar granules remain at the bottom of the bowl for a smooth, consistent sweetness.
- 6
Pour in the fish sauce and freshly squeezed lime juice, then whisk again to thoroughly combine all the liquids.
約1 分
調理のヒント: Always use fresh lime juice for the best flavor; bottled juice often lacks the bright acidity.
- 7
Stir in the minced garlic, finely sliced Thai chili, and shredded carrot.
約1 分
調理のヒント: The amount of chili can be adjusted to your personal preference; start with half and add more if you desire extra heat.
- 8
Taste the Nuoc Cham and adjust the balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors as needed by adding more sugar, lime juice, or fish sauce, a small amount at a time.
約1 分
調理のヒント: The ideal Nuoc Cham should hit all four flavor notes: sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. Keep tasting and adjusting until it sings!
- 9
Allow the Nuoc Cham to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
約30 分
調理のヒント: This resting period is crucial for the garlic and chili to infuse their flavors throughout the sauce, creating a more harmonious taste.

おいしく保存
This versatile sauce is fantastic with Vietnamese spring rolls (fresh or fried), grilled pork or chicken, bun cha, or as a dressing for a simple noodle salad. For an extra pop of freshness, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro or mint just before serving. It also pairs wonderfully with a crisp, light-bodied white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a cold Vietnamese iced coffee.
Store leftover Nuoc Cham in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Nuoc Cham is typically served chilled or at room temperature and does not require reheating. Stir well before serving.
