What Is Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls Dipping Sauce, and How to Make It?

When Vietnamese people eat rice paper rolls (often called goi cuon or spring rolls), they usually don’t eat them “plain.” They dip each roll into a sauce to add saltiness, sweetness, sourness, and aroma-so the rolls taste fuller and more exciting.

In Vietnam, there are two main dipping sauces you’ll see most often. Which one you choose depends on your taste, and what you put inside the rolls.

And if you’re also looking like many other buyers-for a bulk rice paper supplier/manufacturer that can help lower your total sourcing cost (claim up to ~25% saving cost), you can check the recommended supplier section near the end of this article.

1. Vietnamese Fish Sauce Dip (Nuoc Cham)

This is the classic dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls, fried rolls, grilled meat, and more.

Ingredients:

• Fish sauce
• Sugar
• Warm water (to dissolve sugar)
• Lime juice (or rice vinegar)
• Minced garlic
• Chopped chili (optional)

How to make:

• • Mix sugar + warm water until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add fish sauce and stir.
  • Add lime juice (or vinegar) and taste.
  • Add garlic and chili last.
  • Taste and adjust:

• Too salty, add a bit more water

• Too sour, add a bit more sugar

• Too sweet, add a bit more lime/fish sauce
  
  

2. Peanut Hoisin Sauce (Tuong Dau Phong)

This is the rich, slightly sweet sauce many people love with fresh spring rolls-especially rolls with shrimp, pork, herbs, and lettuce.

Ingredients:

• Hoisin sauce
• Peanut butter
• Warm water (to loosen the sauce)
• Minced garlic (optional)
• Roasted crushed peanuts (topping)
• Chili (optional)

How to make:

• Warm a small pan (low heat).
