Method

Stir the fish sauce, lime, sugar and chilli together until the sugar dissolves. Taste it. It should be sharp first and salty a moment later.
Cut the mango into strips, the cucumber into half moons and the onion as thinly as you can.
Toss the prawns, mango, cucumber and onion in the dressing.
Pile it onto the leaves and finish with the herbs and the peanuts, crushed under the flat of a knife.

Worth knowing

No oil in this dressing. Thai salad dressings are fish sauce, lime, sugar and chilli, and the fat in the bowl is the peanuts, which are weighed.
Cooked prawns are 20 g of protein per 100 g at under 1 g of fat, so the whole plate lands at 337 kcal.
