The secret of this simple Thai dish is the amazing tension of the umami flavors that are Ying and Yang… fish sauce and mirin or sugar gives us the sweet and sour… the bite of the ginger and the base note of the garlic, light yet intense… the mint and lemongrass and Kaffir lime leaves, fresh yet deeply penetrating in taste. This dish is refreshing, aromatic, addictive and spicy, and the mint, tomatoes and the coconut oil together are really wonderfully addictive.
