You can’t make a legitimate vermicelli bowl without Nuoc Mam Cham, also known as Vietnamese Fish Sauce Dipping Sauce. This is a simple “shake and make” recipe, which will keep about a week in the refrigerator. As the name suggests, it’s also a great dipping sauce for Vietnamese egg rolls. Look for Three Crabs Fish Sauce, which is available in most grocery stores — it’s a favorite among Vietnamese cooks.
