Fish dumplings are often enjoyed with a dipping sauce, such as nước mắm pha (diluted fish sauce) mixed with lime juice, sugar, garlic, and chili. The dipping sauce adds a tangy and savory element that complements the delicate flavors of the dumplings.
These dumplings are prized for their soft and chewy texture, combined with the savory and aromatic fish filling. The tapioca starch wrapper gives the dumplings a translucent appearance, showcasing the vibrant fish paste inside. The combination of flavors and textures makes fish dumplings a delightful and satisfying dish.
Fish dumplings can be served as an appetizer, a side dish, or as part of a larger meal. They are often enjoyed with other Vietnamese dishes and are particularly popular during festive occasions and family gatherings.
