5. Tips for Making Ginger Fish Sauce
Most ginger fish sauces can only be used for a very short time, about 1-2 days. Therefore, if you want to preserve the dipping sauce longer, you should choose fresh ginger, garlic, and chili that are not moldy or spoiled. When making the sauce, use pure fish sauce with a protein content of about 30-40.
You can make a large batch of dipping sauce at once and store it in the refrigerator. Pour the fish sauce into a glass jar that has been rinsed with boiling water, dried, and tightly sealed. This way, the fish sauce will not become cloudy and will still retain its delicious flavor.
With these simple methods for making ginger fish sauce, you'll have a delicious dipping sauce to enjoy with your meals. Try incorporating it into your daily meals to treat the whole family.
