CHEF'S NOTES
A dish as simple as this should be easy for anyone to make, but I still expect that some people won't be able to find some ingredients. No matter. Ze Chef can fix that. Let's see... don't have soy sauce and sesame oil? Fine, use salt and olive oil instead. The flavour will be different, but still good. Can't find fresh red chillies? Substitute with sweet red peppers and 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper instead.
If you live in a place with a temperate climate and can't get limes, use lemons and use more of the juice.
If you want a non-vegetarian version of this, try it with fish fillets. Rub fish fillets with salt and pepper, then deep-fry them. Toss them in the sauce. Now you've got Ikan Goreng Cili, a Malaysian fish dish. :)
The sesame oil and basil leaves are my own improvisation, but I like it better that way.
