2. Cook’s Tip on Fish Sauce

   Step 4

   Thin and usually brown, fish sauce is a condiment made from salted, fermented fish, most often anchovies. Its flavor and odor are pungent, so a little goes a long way. Thai fish sauce, nam pla, is milder than its Vietnamese counterpart, nuoc mam or nuoc cham. Check the Asian section of the supermarket for these sauces.
