Step 1

Peel the garlic and finely chop it. Add it to a bowl (or jar if you are making a bigger batch)

Step 2

Cut the lime in half and squeeze all the lime juice into the bowl (or jar) with the garlic and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. The acid from the lime juice will cut the sharp garlic spicy bite.

Step 3

Once 10-15 minutes is up, add the sugar into the garlic/lime juice mix and pour in the hot water. Stir everything together until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 4

Once the sugar has dissolved, add in the fish sauce and mix.

Step 5

Voila! Nuoc cham is done! It can be stored in the fridge or used right away! :)
