Notes:

This recipe is very versatile and you can build of it very easily…

Fry with a bit of garlic and a dried chilli and some firm dried tofu from an oriental grocer (some brands are deep fried, some look like strips of beef jerky, read the ingredients list and experiment).

Squid Brand fish sauce is a nice touch.

Add a little ground lemongrass and/or ginger to give it some sweet notes.

Chuck a handful of fresh herbs, vietnamese mint and thai basil with some chilli and fish sauce will make this a staple in your week.
