     Dipping sauce form an integral part of the South East Asian cuisine, it elevates any salad or dish to the next level and adds that zingy and zesty finishing touch. There are many different sauces which are used for various dishes which I shall be sharing with you this month. This is a lime and fish sauce which I highly recommend as a salad dressing and/or as a rice roll dipping sauce.
