Very Very Good Shaton 123!!! I cut the recipe in half for the two of us, and left out the cilantro, just didn't have any, did the rest of it as instructed.Loved the mint and lime taste!!nice combination with the ginger and red pepper, all with great crispy crunchy lettuce, we used iceburg lettuce. We will definately make these again often. Thanks for sharing!!

outstanding recipe. i did add a little chopped lemongrass as well but other than that kept to the recipe. The flavors were terrific and it was easy to put together.
