Ginger Dressing (Nước sốt gừng) © kvalifood.com

A light Vietnamese dressing with fresh ginger as the main flavour. The pounded ginger gives it a sharp, warm bite that works well with poached chicken, steamed fish, or fresh vegetable salads. Quick to make - just stir everything together.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • ½ tsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, pounded

Directions

Combine the sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, rice wine vinegar, and pounded fresh ginger in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the ginger is evenly distributed.

Notes

  • Pairs well with poached chicken or steamed fish.
  • Use freshly pounded ginger rather than dried - the sharpness matters here.
