Fish souse?

Question

I've got a big bottle of fish souse. I know I can use it in stir fry and Thai dishes, but what else can I use it for? Does anyone know a good easy recipe with fish souse?

Answer 1

I'm vietnamese and we use it for pretty much everything. This is one recipe I learned to make.

1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup of fish sause
4 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Tbsp. Garlic powder
1 Tbsp. Red Pepper Flakes
20 1/2 in. rib pieces
1/3 cup of vegetable oil

Cook the ribs until slightly brown in oil.
In a cup mix the water and fish sauce.
In a seperate bowl mix the sugar, flakes, and powder.
After the meat is thoroughly browned, add water mixture.
Pour in the sugar mixture.
Cover with a lid and let sit for about 15 min.
It should look almost burnt.
Enjoy.

Answer 2

make a pasta sauce just as you would for bolognese...but leave out the mince meat. Add tinned sardines and a few splashes of your fish sauce, chilli if you fancy and you'll end up with a pretty good putanesca.

Answer 3

you can use it in seafood fried rice, in seafood soups. Bottomline, if you're using seafood in any of your cooking, you can use fish sauce.

Happy trying!:)
