- For the dressing, pound the chilli and sugar to a paste using a pestle and mortar. Add the fish sauce and lime juice, continue to pound until well mixed.
- Run the lettuce under cold water. Remove and discard the two outer leaves. Peel the other leaves away one at a time until you get to the smaller ones - set these aside. Put the outer leaves in a big food bag in the fridge for another time.
- Shred the mango and the carrot into sticks using a food processor, or a sharp knife. Mix the mango, carrot, grapefruit, radishes and spring onions together with the herbs, beansprouts and peanuts. Mix in the dressing and leave to sit for 2 mins. Serve in a bowl next to the pile of reserved lettuce leaves. Spoon the salad into the lettuce leaves and eat with your hands.
