i forgot to add, that as i didnt have lime leaves, i added lime zest of two lemon and it was a good replacement. i also put thin slices of lemon to decorate and add flavour to replace the lime leaves flavour. so being innovative is important. i replaced the corriender with basil as i didnt have them at home.

i followed the recipee, didnt have the corriender but used basil instead, which was still good. The fish sauce is very strong, so took the advice to use only two table spoon. thanks for the recipee, it was fun..

Seems like authentic Asian people have said too much fish sauce! Is the recipe correct as is? I am so confused. I will sit in the corner until you tell me what to do.

That definately was not 4 tablespoons/1/4 cup of fish sauce/nam plah! I'd guess 4 tsp is correct or even just 1 tablespoon. Instead of sliced chiles and sugar nam phrik works great to taste

I think it is 4 tsp insted of 4 Tbsp. If a recipe uses fish sauce, try to use lesser of that amount as i have tried making lots of recipes and all of them were bloody salty.

I am wondering if the recipe should have 4 tsp not 4 tbsp of fish sauce? I made it as per instructions and could taste nothing but fish sauce!

some decent substitutions: galangal --> ginger lime leafs --> lime zest not authentic, but still good
