Sounds complicated but it's very quick and easy. Oh and YUMMY! Love it. I will be making this again. I do not know what Rau Ram is so I used a LOT of mint and thai basil because that's what I had on hand. Fresh and light tasting. THANK YOU. DELICIOUS! Jan 11, 2010. April 21, 2010 - I've been making this since I found the recipe. To make it even easier, I purchase a rotissere chicken from Costco and use it instead of cooking the chicken. I find that chicken very juicy. It's also very flexible, I use any fresh herb on hand like mint, basil, or cilantro. I find they're good. Thank you.
