I had been afraid of the fish sauce, but it was great.

This was sensational. I made this a day ahead and had it for lunch with some miso soup. The only thing I did different was added some wakame (dried seaweed) soaked in water for 5-10 mins and some "La Yu" (chilli oil) to give it some "oomph". Overall, a great recipe I'd make again. Thank u!
