Mieng tuna

1) Combine the fish sauce, lime juice and vinegar in a bowl and add the tuna pieces. Add the ground rice, jasmine rice, spring onions, garlic and pepper. Squeeze the juice from two lime slices onto the tuna and add the shredded pandanus leaves. Leave the mixture to marinate for 1 hour.

2) Wrap each piece of tuna in a piece of pandanus leaf. Thread onto wooden skewer. Deep-fry the tuna skewers in plenty of vegetable oil for about 10 seconds.

For the dipping sauce:
1) Mix all the ingredients together and simmer over low heat until it thickens. Allow to cool.

For the condiments:
1) Unwrap the tuna pieces. Place each on a betel nut leaf. Put a little bit of each condiment on the tuna. Pour on a teaspoon of sauce.

2) Eat in one mouthful.

Notes: Inspired by the traditional Mieng Kham, a traditional snack that is often sold in the street in Thailand, this dish is a great experience to share with friends, since the various elements encourage you to pass the condiments around and savour the combinations of flavours.
