Notes
- This isn't the spiciest Thai dish out there by a long way, but use fewer chillies if you're not really into spicy food.
- The vegetarian oyster and fish sauces could be substituted for soy sauce if you don't have them. The fermented soybean paste could also be replaced by miso paste, although the flavour might not be perfect.
