  1. This sauce was EXACTLY what I was craving! You’re brilliant

  2. This is a delicious sauce I substituted the hot pepper with ginger for a different type of heat and it was great.

  3. Vicky,Your site is fabulous! I’m drooling over which recipe I want to try out first. Thank you, thank you for providing links to some of your ingredients. Vietnamese cooking has always been intimidating to me, most in part, because I never knew exactly what brand of sauces Vietnamese recipes would call for. For example, there are multiple brands of fish sauce, so never knew which one to buy, etc. This site is definitely your calling!

    Thanks again,Jessica

  4. Excellent sauce. I try to stay away from white sugar so I substituted coconut sugar. Worked well. This is going to be a go-to recipe!

  5. Vicky,
