Fish sauce is a condiment that is commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. It is made from fermented fish and salt and has a strong, savory, and umami flavor. Fish sauce is a key ingredient in many dishes and sauces in these cuisines, adding depth of flavor and saltiness.
Here's how fish sauce is typically made:
Fish Selection: Different types of fish can be used, including anchovies, mackerel, and other small, saltwater fish. The choice of fish can influence the flavor of the final sauce.
Fermentation: The fish are layered with salt in large containers and left to ferment for several months to a few years. During fermentation, enzymes and microorganisms break down the fish proteins into amino acids and peptides.
