Answers:
N??c ch?m is a Vietnamese "dipping sauce" that is served quite frequently as a condiment. While it is referred to as a sauce, this is a misnomer, as the consistency is close to water, and is clear, with an orangey-brown color to it. The basic recipe is:

1 part lime/lemon juice. Vinegar has also been known to be used in a pinch
1 part fish sauce
1 part sugar
2 parts water
To this, people will typically add minced garlic, chopped or minced serrano peppers, and in some instances, shredded carrot, etc.

It is often prepared hot on a stove to melt the sugar more quickly, then cooled. The flavor varies depending on the individual's preference of putting in more of a certain ingredient, but is generally is described as pungent and distinct, sweet yet sour, and sometimes hot.
