Reply To: Problem with Fish sauce

I usually use it for kimchi as well (especially Maangchi’s buchu-kimchi recipe!), but also you can add a little bit to any savory dish to bump up the flavor. If you just use a couple of dashes in a larger dish, it won’t taste of fish at all, it’ll just seem richer – like adding an anchovy into pasta sauce, or a little bit of coffee in a chocolate cake! Just use a little bit less salt in whatever dish it is, since the fish sauce will be pretty salty.
