FAQ
- What if oil has separated from Fish sauce in the jar?
- Stir it back in before measuring. The total jar mass hasn't changed, but separation would bias any volume measure — scoop after a full stir to match the table.
- 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.
