    This was simply divine! Added some squids with the prawns and shredded basil instead of coriander! My first Vietnamese venture and it was lovely - so fresh, fragrant and full of flavours!

    Simply delicious salad. Did for boxing day as part of a buffet & everyone loved it including the kids! Used bok choi instead of Chinese cabbage.
