i would make a salad out of rice noodles (vermicelli), plenty of mint and chinese parsley, some sliced cucumbers, peppers and some celery, squid and prawns. the dressing is just simply fish sauce, your limes, and some sugar. very simple but delicous. oh and plenty of chopped garlic and chilli depending on how spicy you like it

Yes, for tom yam, you can use the lime leaves. The juice can also be added in for a more fragrant smell
