- Add the vegan fish sauce and lime juice and mix. The vegan fish sauce may differ in saltiness, depending on what brand you have. Start with 1 1/4 cups water, and adjust as needed. I ended up adding another 1/4 cup water to be about 1 1/2 cups water total. Adjust to your taste!
- Store in the fridge and enjoy on many Vietnamese dishes!
