Drip a drop onto your finger and lick it, and a saltiness like seawater and the scent of the shore will race through your whole body \u2014 you should feel a sensation of a body worn down by the heat coming back to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nuoc mam is a soul seasoning that Vietnamese cuisine cannot do without.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This fish sauce, made by fermenting anchovies and salt, is characterized by a powerful umami and a distinctive aroma. It seems similar to Thai nam pla, but in fact both the production method and the taste differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a dipping sauce, as a seasoning for heated cooking, and as a secret ingredient in a dish \u2014 the ways to use it are limitless. At first the distinctive aroma may throw you off, but strangely, it has an appeal that leaves you hooked after using it a few times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Refer to the \"\u00b0N\" mark on the bottle and choose according to your use. Start with a mid-range 35\u201340\u00b0N and you won't go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-balloon\"><div class=\"c-balloon -bln-left\" data-col=\"gray\"><div class=\"c-balloon__icon -circle\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ChatGPT-Image-2026\u5e746\u67086\u65e5-02_06_34.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"c-balloon__iconImg\" width=\"80px\" height=\"80px\"><\/div><div class=\"c-balloon__body -speaking -border-none\"><div class=\"c-balloon__text\">\n<p>\u30d9\u30c8\u30ca\u30e0\u6599\u7406\u306e\u5965\u6df1\u3055\u3092\u77e5\u308a\u305f\u3044\u65b9\u3001\u65b0\u3057\u3044\u8abf\u5473\u6599\u306b\u6311\u6226\u3057\u305f\u3044\u65b9\u306f\u305c\u3072\u4e00\u5ea6\u3001\u30cc\u30af\u30de\u30e0\u3092\u624b\u306b\u53d6\u3063\u3066\u307f\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u3002<\/p>\n<span class=\"c-balloon__shapes\"><span class=\"c-balloon__before\"><\/span><span class=\"c-balloon__after\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We explain nuoc mam, the fish sauce essential to Vietnamese cuisine, in detail\u2014from basics to authentic uses, type differences, and how to choose to avoid mistakes.
