I never have, but would like to try it and add it to the arsenal.

Can you water it down for a stock?

Does it have a very strong fish flavor? Salted?

I use it in a bunch of stuff. I usually add it when I taste something and can't figure out what it needs. A few dashes of fish sauce seem to always do the trick.

I make a 1/3 1/3 1/3 mix of Fish Sauce, Olive Oil and Thia Chili sauce that I put on my Brussels sprouts and then roast.

I also make a sauce that goes over most any asian rice based dish.

Sauce

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped thai chilies
1 1/2 cup Mae Ploy chili sauce

Place water, sugar, fish sauce and vinegar in bowl. Whisk until sugar is completely dissolved. Add garlic and thai chilies to the mixture and whisk until both are well dispersed. Add mae ploy and whisk until combined with mixture.

Here is the entire recipe for the rice meshi dish. If you're ever in Austin, go to Paul Qui's East Side King and get this dish.

Stir fry veggies - love it with sauteed broccolli. Just a dash though, you don't need much at all.

These two mixed are a great dipping sauce for pot stickers.
