To be authentic, if that’s what you want to be, use nuoc mam, the Vietnamese version of fish sauce. However, nam pla, which is what the Thais prefer, is exported all over the world and may be easier to find. As with the Thai Piquant Dressing above, I propose the use of this dip with many dishes in this book, not just with those that actually come from Vietnam.
