Nước chấm is a Vietnamese "dipping sauce" that is served quite frequently as a condiment. While it is referred to as a sauce, this is a misnomer, as the consistency is close to water, and is clear, with an orangey-brown color to it. The basic recipe is:
1 part lime/lemon juice. Vinegar has also been known to be used in a pinch
1 part fish sauce
1 part sugar
2 parts water
To this, people will typically add minced garlic, chopped or minced serrano peppers, and in some instances, shredded carrot, etc.
It is often prepared hot on a stove to melt the sugar more quickly, then cooled. The flavor varies depending on the individual's preference of putting in more of a certain ingredient, but is generally is described as pungent and distinct, sweet yet sour, and sometimes hot.

Just type in Nouc Cham in web search at Yahoo. You will find plenty of recipes. Also, I think Nouc Cham is Vietnamese. Thai people make a similar sauce but I don't know the name in Thai.
