    A wonderfully fresh combination. We have a pawpaw tree so cooked this with coriander instead of perilla and it worked. The flavours and taste are great.

    This is delicious. I added julienned carrot to the salad and omitted the perilla leaves. The dressing is amazing and so typically Vietnamese. Just love it!
