Nuoc Mam makes all the difference to this dish.
Savour the sweet and sour flavours of Vietnamese cooking with this simple chicken stir-fry. An important ingredient in Vietnamese cooking is Nuoc Mam, a fish sauce made from fermented anchovies. It is used in many Pacific Rim countries much as we use salt. The sauce adds a depth of flavour to the dish. It can be found in many supermarkets in the Asian food section. It can also be found in Asian or specialty stores. More soya sauce or dry sherry can be used instead. The flavours won’t be the same, but the meal will be tasty.
