Top 10 Unexpectedly Delicious Fish Sauce Recipes

While it could be argued that sexy and fish belong on opposite ends of the spectrum, I would like to point your attention to mermaid cut dresses and these insanely yummy fish sauce recipes. These dishes challenge you to think outside the chicken broth box and incorporate Asian flair in your kitchen.

Soups and stews like the Thai curry gourd-stuffed sensation are surprisingly delightful. These soup recipes are ideal in the colder months, and can even be dressed up and served in the shell of a roasted seasonal vegetable like pumpkin or squash. Fish sauce also complements summer dishes, such as 1-2 Simple Cooking's unconventional summer seafood salad which incorporates watermelon, crab and fresh herbs like cilantro and mint.

What's great about fish sauce is that it's a versatile condiment that packs a lot of flavour. And while some people may not like a strong "fishy" taste in their meal, you can use the condiment in a variety of recipes. Beyond traditional meals, fish sauce can also be used in cocktails, cupcakes and ice ceams.
