FAQ
- How do I get a clean level tablespoon of Fish sauce?
- Stir first to eliminate air pockets, then scoop and scrape flush with a knife. A heaping spoon reads 20–30 % higher.
- Can I substitute Fish sauce with a thinner spread 1:1 by weight?
- The gram count works but rheology differs — a thinner spread flows into gaps you scraped flat, so downstream mixing or layering may behave differently.
