Clear reddish brown sauce? If so it's a mixture of fish sauce, water, sugar, red chili, garlic, and lime juice. Don't go dipping your spring rolls in straight fish sauce from the bottle.

I second this. Fish sauce by itself is a very odd taste

This. I can only imagine the hilarity if OP dipped away at pure fish sauce.

Also find a good nuoc mam recipe. Lots of Vietnamese dishes use it and it will make or break your dish. As for the red chili, sambal oelek is an excellent option.
