Instructions
  1. Slide the chilis very thinly. Remove the hard outer coating from the lemongrass stalk to expose the softer inner, and slide the stalk thinly. Slice the garlic cloves thinly aswell.
  2. Peel the ginger using a tablespoon. Cut into thin matchsticks of around 2 inches long. Roughly chop the celery leaves and coriander.
  3. Cut the onion and lime in half. Thinly slice the onion. Squeeze the lime juice into a small bowl in which you’ll make the dressing. Drain the can of tuna fully into the sink.
  4. To make the dressing, add chilis, ginger, fish sauce, garlic, and sugar to the small bowl containing the freshly squeezed lime juice. Mix well and taste with a spoon. The dressing should be zingy, mostly sour with notes of saltiness, sweetness, and heat.
  5. In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced onion, drained tuna, coriander, celery leaves, and lemongrass. Mix well with a fork to break up the tuna.
  6. Pour the dressing from the small bowl into the main salad bowl. Toss the salad well to ensure an even coating. Serve and enjoy.
