   Roughly chop 1 red chilli, 1 garlic clove, large handful of coriander (with stalks), large handful of thai basil, and set aside.

   Spread the paste onto slices of brioche bread, and press these face-side down into sesame seeds.

   Heat vegetable oil (enough to shallow fry) to 190C and fry (starting face down) for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

   Dress the toasts with the nam jim sauce, and top with coriander, thai basil, shallot and a squeeze of lime.
