These salads do need some heat though, it's really what makes them. Miles Cid,

Must say that I approach chillies the way an early human might have approached a hungry sabre toothed tiger.... but the green ones are mildish right? Cid Miles,

The fish sauce would replace the salt if that helps? I like to leave the science bit to you :) Miles Melissa,

Chinese cabbage? This looks so good and incredibly refreshing. Do you know if prawns are high in iodine? I'm thinking they would be and I'm looking to add a little more iodine to my diet some way, so this "recipe" of yours looks perfect. I'd rather do it this way than to shake cheap iodized salt on my food. Wow, what a healthy meal. I'm definitely up to trying this. Thanks! GDave, Will you be blogging about your courtship with Fuschia? I agree with Miles -- I'll be looking forward to hearing of your efforts. Will Gentleman's Relish be part of your plan? Melissa Miles,

GDave,

Will you be blogging about your courtship with Fuschia? I agree with Miles — I’ll be looking forward to hearing of your efforts. Will Gentleman’s Relish be part of your plan?

Look forward to reading about your efforts! Miles GDave,

I have a couple of books by Fuschia Dunlop (who will one day be my wife, oh yes) that have whole chapters dedicated to cold street foods and it's certainly something I need to educate myself in. Your salad looks so good. Definitely on the list. GDave Miles,
