Spicy Tuna Salad

At the weekend market in Bangkok Saturday, I ate a Spicy Tuna Salad. I
recreated the recipe last night:

Spicy Tuna Salad

1 can tuna
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 serrano chile, finely chopped
1/2 tbsp crushed red chiles (or to taste)
1 lime
1 tsp fish sauce
1/2 seedless cucumber, finely chopped
1 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
1 tsp mint, finely chopped

I'm guessing on the measurements -- I never measure anything when I'm
cooking! Drain the tuna, squeeze the lime juice on the tuna. Add all
other ingredients. Mix well.

The salad I had in Bangkok was served on a lettuce leaf. I added a little
piece of finely chopped lemongrass and a sprinkle of Thai dried chile powder
(Nguan Soon brand) to give it additional zing.

I'd guess you've been eating spicy Thai food for a while, if you needed
*_additional_* dried chile powder after already using a serrano and a
half Tablespoon of crushed red chiles for one little can of tuna! -aem
