What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Something to Savor: Vietnamese Dipping Sauce! Like any good dish, the sauce can make or break it. Some like it sweet and mild, others prefer hot and tangy. As you pull everything together, don’t be shy about taking a taste test. If you prefer less sweetness, adjust accordingly. Do the same to crank up the heat a notch or two. I took the advice from a friend of mine who puts this sauce on everything from spring rolls to noodles to salads to fish. It’s amazing!
VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup rice vinegar
1 cup fish sauce
2 cups sugar
10 red chili peppers, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, crushed
Instructions:
Combine water, rice vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, chili peppers, and garlic in a pan over medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve sugar. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Yum!

Sounds delicious, and it is an important point to taste, taste, taste to make it how you like it. It is also important if you LOVE it to write it down!
