Meredith and I made Thai Tuna salad from the recipe on page 54 of Pok Pok.

We stayed pretty true to the recipe. We doubled it with the only changes being:

1.5x the tuna (3 cans instead of two for the doubled recipe)
Heavy on the garlic
Instead of using all green Thai chillies, we used just one plus 2 Loco Peppers from Meredith's garden and some jalapeño to make up the rest
Instead of palm sugar syrup, I made a syrup with ~~demerara~~turbinado sugar (1:1 ratio by weight). Made it in the microwave
Left the sauce on the heat for just a tad longer to really meld the flavors

At first we were worried that it would be too fish-saucy from the smell, but with it all mixed in, it was actually perfectly good. The meal itself was delicious. Probably one of the better things I have ever made with canned tuna.
