Comments

Cyndy from EAT SMARTER's picture
Nuoc Cham Sauce is a common Vietnamese Dipping Sauce made with lime juice, or occasionally vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, and water. It's easy to make but you can substitute any sweet and sour dipping sauce for these eggrolls.
 
If I don't have the Nuoc Cham sauce, what other sauce can I use instead?
