Nua kem with jaew dipping sauce.
This past week I made the Jaew recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook to go with his Nua Kem recipe. I had heard of jaew, but never made it nor tried it. It’s a thin sauce that’s spicy and salty with a touch of sourness.
Last week I made J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Sukang Sawsawan (Philippine Chile-Vinegar Dipping Sauce) recipe from The Wok cookbook
We had it with the Crispy Fried Pork Belly, and Megan and I both thought it was very tasty. 4 stars ★★★★☆
Last week I made the Pancake Dipping Sauce recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook to go with the Korean and Chinese pancake recipes that start the Frying chapter.
The sauce is good, mostly salty and sweet. 4 stars ★★★★☆
Last week I made Nước Chấm for the bún trộn tôm recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s The Wok cookbook.
We’re already familiar with nước chấm, but I like having a recipe for it on hand instead of searching the internet whenever I want to make some.
