About Nuoc cham

Nuoc Cham is a versatile Vietnamese dipping sauce known for its harmonious balance of savory, sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. Typically made from fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic, chili, and water, it is a staple in Vietnamese cuisine, complementing dishes like spring rolls, grilled meats, and salads. Rich in umami due to the fish sauce base, Nuoc Cham is low in calories, making it a flavorful addition without significantly altering caloric intake. However, its sodium content can be high due to the fish sauce, so moderation is key when incorporating it into meals. The lime juice and chili provide a boost of vitamin C and antioxidants, which support immune health and metabolism. Overall, Nuoc Cham is a flavorful yet light accompaniment that enhances a variety of dishes while encouraging moderation in sodium intake.
