Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Put the tomatoes in a large bowl and stir in half the shallots, the fish sauce, sugar, lime juice and a large pinch of salt. Set aside for 15 mins.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a small frying pan over a low heat and cook the rest of the shallots, the chilli, garlic and ginger for 3-4 mins, stirring continuously until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Sprinkle over a little salt.

Step 3

Tip the dressed tomatoes onto a serving plate. Scatter over the mint, crispy shallot and chilli mixture and the lime zest, then drizzle over the honey. Serve immediately.
