Soy Lime Dipping Sauce

This vegetarian dipping sauce can be made with any soy sauce, including the japanese-style kikkoman, although the vietnamese prefer the lighter-bodied chinese-style products marketed under the brands kim lan, bo de, and pearl river bridge. Like dipping sauces made with fish sauce, you can embellish this with different aromatics such as ginger and cilantro
