What is Fish Sauce?

Credit: Photo: Jennifer Causey

In many parts of mainland Southeast Asia, fish sauce (made from the liquid of, yes, salted fermented fish) is a staple, used for seasoning instead of salt. It gives wonderful depth of flavor—what the Japanese call umami. But unless you're cooking Southeast Asian food every week, a big bottle (it's cheapest in big bottles) can sit in your cupboard unloved and unused for months—which is why we've rounded up our favorite ways to use it. Don't let the first whiff of fish sauce put you off; it's actually a lighter and more subtle seasoning than soy sauce.

Marjorie Meek-Bradley of Ripple relies on fish sauce to bring a new dimension to marinades and vinaigrettes. She finds that this salty pantry staple is especially appealing in crisp salads. "Fish sauce creates this exotic Thai flavor without being overpowering," she says.

"The flavors in our Blistered Snap Peas remind us of ceviche, with the smoky crispness of grill-blistered snap peas replacing seafood. The citrus is refreshingly acidic, while the umami flavor from the fish sauce balances it out, elevating the dish's depth and savoriness in an addictive way," says Greg Denton and Gabrielle Quiñónez Denton of Ox Restaurant.

"When I cook at home, I use fish sauce in a lot of Italian food," says Quealy Watson of Hot Joy. "I took Latin for four years and read most of Apicius [a collection of ancient Roman recipes]. After seeing the prevalence of garum, a fermented fish sauce, in ancient Roman cooking, using fish sauce in Italian food just made sense. It's essentially anchovy juice." Look for crispy fried garlic at your local Asian market.

Mixed Mushrooms with Fish Sauce

"Mushrooms have their own unique, earthy flavor that's enhanced by the brothy, meaty taste of umami found in the fish, Worcestershire, and soy sauces. The combination stimulates the senses with saltiness, bitterness, sourness, and a surprise touch of sweetness," says Chris Clime of PassionFish.

Since the food at Beaker & Gray combines playful new flavor profiles with ingredients from around the world, Brian Nasajon has the opportunity to pair all kinds of combinations with fish sauce to create fresh, unexpected results. His glass noodles are a Grade-A example. "This dish is very floral and bright, with lots of herbs, vinegars, and chiles; fish sauce brings the undertones and body." In a pinch, substitute Granny Smith apple for papaya, and zucchini for chayote.

Salmon Soup With Tomato, Dill, and Garlic

Author Andrea Nguyen and husband Rory O'Brien use fish sauce nearly every day, in traditional Vietnamese and Thai dishes, and as a stealth ingredient in BBQ sauce. "When a Western dish such as chili or boeuf bourguignon needs extra gravitas," Nguyen says, nuoc mam is part of the remedy. Carp is the fish typically used in this traditional Vietnamese soups (known as rieu), but since it is not commonly available at regular markets, Nguyen switched to salmon.

Asian: Almond Butter Chicken Satay

View Recipe: Almond Butter Chicken Satay

Restaurant chicken satay just can't compete with our lighter and more flavorful version. Light coconut milk, lime juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, fresh ginger, and curry powder combine for a potent and highly flavorful marinade for the chicken pieces. The real magic is with the almond butter dipping sauce though. It's luxuriously creamy with a kick of garlicky heat from the Sriracha. Munch on cucumber slices to cool of your palate between dips in the sauce. To speed up prep time, add the chicken to the marinade and make the dipping sauce before you leave for work in the morning. You'll only need to skewer the chicken and grill when you get home.

No one can seem to agree on precisely what to call bok choy—you'll also find it labeled as pak choy and bok choi—but most agree it's the garden star of a stir-fry. It's tasty in its many growth stages: from tiny, tender micro-greens to slightly larger, crunchier baby bok choy and beyond.

Ready in just 15 minutes, this quick salad is full of fresh ingredients and bold flavors.

A killer savory marinade of shallots, fish sauce, toasted sesame oil, garlic, and turmeric permeates the fish and gives it a beautiful golden color. When you sear the fish in a hot-hot pan (go for stainless steel or cast iron here), it gets fantastically browned.

Vietnamese Pork Tenderloin

View Recipe: The Best Vietnamese Pork Tenderloin
Don't be put off by the length of the ingredient list for these super flavorful pork skewers. Many are pantry items you'll likely have on hand, like sugar, canola oil, black pepper, soy sauce, cooking spray, and garlic. And each of the recipe steps are quite simple and quick to carry out. Lemongrass is a grass that has a lemony aroma and flavor. You'll find it fresh in single stalks in the produce section. The top of the stalk is light green and very fibrous and tough; the base of the stalk (root end) is very pale green to off-white in color and a little more tender. The woody tops can be used to infuse flavor into broths, rice, tea, and other liquids. (Keep pieces large enough so they can easily be removed before eating.) The base of the stalk can be chopped and is useful for marinades, rubs, and stir-fries. Remove any tough outer layers beforehand. If you can't find lemongrass, you can substitute about 2 teaspoons lemon zest.

This dish is a Thai-restaurant standby, but worth making at home, especially if you can put your hands on some excellent shrimp.
