🌿 Vietnamese sauce Style Fresh Herb and Chilli Sauce

Looking to add a fresh, zesty kick to your favourite dishes? This Vietnamese Sacce with fresh herb and chilli sauce is quick to make, bursting with flavour, and pairs beautifully with grilled meats, seafood, noodles, rice dishes, and salads. It’s the kind of versatile condiment that instantly elevates a simple meal with vibrant colour and bold taste.

The magic lies in its simple, fresh ingredients. Start by finely chopping coriander, spring onions, and ripe tomatoes, then combine them in a medium bowl. Add a spoonful of chilli paste for heat, followed by a pinch of salt, a generous splash of vinegar, and a little water to bring everything together. Gently stir until the ingredients are well mixed.

Allow the sauce to rest for a few minutes before serving. This short resting time helps the flavours mellow and meld, creating a refreshing, punchy, and well-balanced sauce with just the right amount of tang and spice.

Use it as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or grilled meats, drizzle it over salads, or spoon it onto steamed rice or noodle bowls for an instant flavour boost.

Tip: Adjust the amount of chilli paste and vinegar to suit your taste — this sauce should be lively, herbaceous, and perfectly tangy.
