This is the nuoc cham my family uses!

Nước chấm

1 large clove garlic

1 fresh red chile, seeded (Bird’s Eye chiles tend to be more available; use however many you’re comfortable with)

¼ cup fresh lime juice

5 tablespoons fish sauce

3 tablespoons sugar

6 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons grated carrot

In a mortar, pound together the garlic and red chile until puréed (or pass the garlic clove through a garlic press). Mix in the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and water. Pour into a dipping saucer and add the carrot

Makes about 1 cup

#do not use straight fish sauce as a dipping sauce!#just being pedantic but those are egg rolls. egg rolls have cabbage spring rolls do not #my grandmother is vietnamese and does things a lil differently #chiefly that everything is raw before it goes in the fryer #that being said she is not a good cook and spring rolls are like the only thing she can do well #recipe
