FISH SAUCE aka NUOC MAM

If you want to know what that secret ingredient is in our food that makes it so damn good… it’s fish sauce. Plain and simple….stank ass fish sauce. It’s what makes our cuisine so flavorful and keeps our breaths kickin’. We put it in just about everything we cook. We use it so much, that our moms buy fish sauce in boxes. Whenever you visit a Vietnamese family, check out in their garage or in that illegal storage house they built up in the backyard, chances are you’ll find not one, but two cases of fish sauce somewhere back there.
