Name: Spicy Thai Dipping Sauce (Nuoc Cham)
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons); 1/4 cup Thai fish sauce; 1 -2 tablespoon brown sugar; 1 -2 hot red chili peppers or 1 -2 serrano chili, seeded and thinly sliced; 1 garlic clove, minced

This is really good with spring rolls or egg rolls. The proportions in this recipe are highly individual. When I make it, I often do not add two serranos, and I also usually end up adding more sugar. This may taste funny if you just sip it, but try dipping an egg roll in it....heaven!!

garlic clove,

Combine all ingredients in a bowl; let stand 10 minutes.

There are many variants of this sauce but most of them require galangal, lemon grass, shallots, and most importantly, coriander.  These ingredients are essential in Thai cuisine, these would have given the recipe a bit more authenticity.
