So you might recognize that the title looks similar to Nuoc Mam Cham (a Vietnamese salty fish dipping sauce). This is basically its vegan sister, Nuoc Cham Chay.

This sauce is like the perfect balance of sour, sweetness, herby, salty, and a subtle amount of fishy funk. It’s perfect for grilled meets and as a condiment for egg rolls, summer rolls and rice vermicelli noodles.

Little tangy, little savory, this BBQ sauce packs it all in and what makes this BBQ so special is that it reminds me of my Kansas City roots with the use of smoked paprika which adds a little smoke and heat to the sweet and tangy sauce. MMMMM
