Preparation – step by step recipe
- Finely slice the garlic, ginger, chili, and coriander stems and add to a mortar. Grind into a paste.
- In a separate bowl, combine sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil, and add the paste from the mortar. Stir to mix.
- Finely mince the shallots, and chop the cucumber, pepper, and spring onions. Add to a bowl along with the coriander and Thai basil leaves.
- Sear the steak in a Chef frying pan and season to taste.
- Slice the steak, mix together with all the ingredients, and add the dressing.
- Enjoy!
Optional
- If you’re having trouble finding Thai basil, you can replace it with regular basil or mint for another flavor profile.
- Omit the seeds of the bird’s eye chilis for less spice.
- Want to turn it into a full meal for two people? Add some glass noodles.
