fwiw, If you're in the USA and want to make this, coriander is cilantro. Here, we call the seed coriander and the leaf cilantro. dunno why. While coriander (the seed), if stored and used properly, has loads of flavor - the ground sawdust called coriander in U.S. supermarkets, has almost none.

both can be found at any large supermarket. Try the [Precce](http://www.tokyu-store.co.jp/precce/) brand of supermarkets, they are pretty decent.

mmm, this is going to be my dinner tonight.
for some reason, though, i keep thinking i want to put a vietnamese twist on this by substituting fish sauce & sugar for the chilli sauce, omitting the salt.
