“My favourite place to dine in Perth is a little Thai place in north Perth called Nahm Thai. Kevin Pham, the chef, is a self-taught young Vietnamese guy who has a great understanding of the nuances of Thai food. His food is simply presented, well cooked, with nice punchy flavours. The perfect place to eat on a chef’s night off. The cuttlefish salad is sensational.”

Method
Main
1.For nahm jim, combine sugar and fish sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Bring to the boil and cook until lightly caramelised and becomes a light syrup (3-5 minutes). Cool then add lime juice just before serving.
2.Heat frying pan over high heat and cook cuttlefish until just cooked through (1-2 minutes each side), then slice lengthways into 1½cm-thick strips. Combine in a bowl with remaining ingredients except fried shallots, toss to combine. Drizzle with nahm jim and serve immediately scattered with fried shallots.
Fried shallots are from Asian grocers.
