Very Good rendition of this classic. Would have gotten 5 stars if lettuce was exchanged for cabbage wedges for serving, substitute lime juice for lemon, and increase liquids by 50% to taste, certainly the lime juice, maybe nam pla by a tsp. I make mine spicier but that is always personal. Needs to specify red chilis
