Notes Vietnamese Dipping Sauce (Nuoc Cham) Preparation
This was developed for people who did not like the taste of fish sauce. If you like it you can increase the quantity a bit.
Combine Garlic, shallot, Chile and Sugar in mortar and pestle and pound to a paste. Stir in fish Sauce, lime juice, vinegar and Water. When Sugar is completely dissolved, stir in carrot. Or you can combine all ingredients in jar with tight-fitting lid and shake until blended.
Notes
No meal is considered complete without this sauce which is used as freely as salt and pepper. It is also known as nuoc mam sauce. It will keep about one week in the refrigerator

Very tasty and easy to make! We made pot stickers tonight and I was looking for a different dipping sauce. Mine didn't come out as pretty as yours but it had great flavor. Did you use vinegar or rice-wine vinegar? I wasn't sure so I went with the rice-wine vinegar and it rocked! Thanks for sharing!
