Use high-quality fish sauce for the best flavor. Cheaper brands can be overly salty or have an unpleasant odor. Adjust the amount of Thai chile peppers to your preferred level of spice. For a milder sauce, remove the seeds from the peppers before chopping. Taste the sauce before adding the garlic, chile peppers, and vinegar. This will allow you to customize the flavor profile to your liking. If the sauce is too acidic, add a little more sugar. If it's too sweet, add a splash more vinegar or lemon juice. Nuoc Cham is a versatile sauce that can be used as a dipping sauce for spring rolls, grilled meats, or noodles. It can also be used as a marinade or salad dressing.
