FISH SAUCE

Fish sauce is the "national soul and national dish" of Vietnamese people, what makes Vietnamese cuisine different from the rest of world cuisine.
Fish sauce has a long history with Vietnamese people, and is an indispensable part of Vietnamese life and culture. No one can imagine a Vietnamese meal without fish sauce, just like a Korean meal could lack kimchi. Fish sauce is both a seasoning spice, a dish, and a functional food that helps supplement nutrition for Vietnamese people. In some cases, fish sauce is even a medicinal herb to treat diseases and increase human vitality.
