Nước mắm ranks 22nd with a score of 4.4 out of 5 stars. It is a versatile condiment, serving as both a dipping sauce for traditional dishes and a seasoning for modern Vietnamese cuisine. It is a staple in home-cooked meals and a must-have at street food stalls across the country. In Vietnam, nước mắm is served in two forms: pure nước mắm and sweet nước mắm.
