- then a dash of fish sauce, a dash of soy sauce
- bit more oil; then some rice vinegar
- tip in a scoop of salt, sugar, msg (the last is important if you're not going to do it then why are you cooking this? it'll be a sad sad dish)
- slap on the rice
- then go in a bunch of thai sweet basil leaves (not stalks, wrong texture, and don't chop them neither)
- fold it over a bunch of times so it's combined
- paddle it out in a bowl in a nice dome, don't squidge it, obviously, just build it like that
