They are salty indeed. We don't use as much either.

Ate at a Vietnamese restaurant today; TMU came into a bit of unexpected
cash LOL. There was a brownish sauce (no chile) at the table, along with
the Huy Fong sriracha and tuong ot toi. Any ideas what that was? In a
squeezy bottle.

TMU had rice noodles with shrimp and roast pork. Mine was a 'rice sheet'
with similar filling. However it seemed like an egg sheet instead. Not
bad though. We started with spring rolls, the uncooked sort. TMU didn't
like those, so we got an order of 'egg rolls', which were wrapped in
banh trang as well but fried. Beautifully crispy. She liked those
better.

Nice meal but not one Vietnamese person eating there
