Directions
1
Dissolve the sugar in the warm water, then stir in the fish sauce, lime juice and rice vinegar.
2
Add the garlic, bird’s eye chili and sambal to the fish sauce mixture.
3
Whisk the hot water gradually into the peanut butter until smooth, then whisk in the remaining peanut sauce ingredients.
4
Add more hot water a tablespoon at a time to the peanut sauce until it reaches a smooth, glossy consistency that is loose enough to coat a roll.
Ingredients
1/3 cup sugar
3 tbsp Squid Brand fish sauce
1/2 cup warm water
2-3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sambal oelek (optional)
1-2 clove garlic, minced
1 whole bird’s eye chili, finely sliced
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/3 cup hot water
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sambal oelek
1 small clove garlic, grated
Tips
For nước chấm, you can start with 1/4 cup sugar and adjust to taste.
This is a concentrated nước chấm recipe for rice wraps; for vermicelli bowls, dilute with an additional 2-4 tbsp of water.
Sambal oelek in the nước chấm provides chili and garlic in one ingredient, but adding fresh garlic and chili is recommended for a fresh bite.
For the peanut sauce, add more hot water one tablespoon at a time until the texture is loose enough to coat your roll without being gloopy.
