Step-by-Step Guide
Pound the ingredients for the dressing together in a pestle and mortar for two or three minutes until the sauce jus begins to come together. Add the tomatoes then stir through the other ingredients until they are well coated. Tip out into bowls and eat straight away. Serve with extra lime wedges, fish sauce and chillies so that each person can tweak the flavours to their own tastes
