So, you’ve bought fish sauce but don’t know which dishes pair the best with it? Or are you looking for new ideas to help you finish the half bottle of fish sauce sitting in your fridge? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Fish sauce can make many great dishes even better, thanks to its salt and savory characteristics. Check out four of them below.
Fried Rice
Oyster sauce is usually the favorite when it comes to fried rice, but this doesn’t mean the fish sauce will let you down if you opt for it instead. On the contrary, it will give the dish some extra kick and enhance the overall flavor.
Scrambled Eggs
Tired of plain scrambled eggs? Well, if you start adding some fish sauce to them, they will never be boring again. Or take it up a notch and make Vietnamese scrambled eggs, which use fish sauce as the main ingredient.
Instant Ramen
Instant ramen is a great choice when you are looking for a quick meal. However, sometimes the seasoning that comes in the packet isn’t enough and you end up with a bland dish. By adding fish sauce to your instant ramen, you’ll infuse it with more salt and give it more flavor for a tastier experience.
Marinated Chicken
Forget all those complicated marinades when making chicken. Instead, just splash a healthy amount of fish sauce on chicken legs, drumsticks, breasts, or even a whole chicken. Let it rest for five to six hours and then pop it in the oven. You will be amazed by the results.
