In a pot, combine the rice, a pinch of salt and 112 cups water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Keep covered until ready to serve. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.

For nuoc cham, combine herbs, chilli, fish sauce/rice vinegar/brown sugar, a squeeze of lime juice from 2-3 wedges (to taste). Mix well to combine.
