Khwanjai’s Top Tips:
Watch the “Cutting Limes Thai Style” tutorial if you don’t know how to cut limes Thai style, it’s a really slick method for avoiding the pips and getting maximum juice from your lime. (The colour of the limes often found in Thailand may have some bearing on why Thais call them lemons)
Listen out for the tips on Chillies and on the types of lettuce you should use. It’s a good idea to do a taste test after you make the dressing before you add the veggies and then again at the finish. Doing this will help your understanding of developing a flavour as the recipe progresses.
Before; it will be very sour, but bear in mind the flavours you’re going to be adding.
After; it will be balanced by the chillies and garlic and the bland flavours of the veggies
Alternative or additional vegetables you could use are Spring Onions (scallions) and/or Radishes, using either of those, you may want to reduce the chillies a little to preserve the balance of flavours. Celery is another useful alternative
