Print this Recipe
VIETNAM
Makes about 3/4 cup
Mam nem is certainly one of the more exotic dipping sauces in the Vietnamese culinary repertoire. Despite the odd-sounding combination of flavors, it’s extremely tasty and easy to make. I first sampled this sauce in Saigon, where it was made with puréed pineapple. I like the no-fuss sweetness of applesauce. Serve with any sort of grilled fish or pork.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, minced
4 ounces shrimp, peeled and deveined, then very finely chopped
2 tablespoons asain fish sauce, , or more to taste
1 teaspoon sambal ulek or other chile paste or sauce
1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened
1. Heat the oil in a small, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant but not brown, about 15 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, and the applesauce and bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Taste for seasoning, adding fish sauce or hot sauce as necessary; the sauce should be highly seasoned.
2. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let cool to room temperature. Serve immediately, or store, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Serve at room temperature.
