Vietnamese Fermented Anchovy Dipping Sauce - Mắm Nêm

Mắm Nêm is a very pungent Vietnamese sauce made with fermented anchovy, crushed pineapples, sugar, lemon juice, Thai chili pepper, lemongrass, and garlic. It is a hard-core alternative to wherever the more widely known Vietnamese Fish Sauce Dipping Sauce (Nuoc Mam Cham) is used, and best as a dipping for butter beef spring rolls.

Mam Nem is an acquired taste, but once mixed with the right ingredients, it's oh so so good.
