Step 1: After you have prepared all of the ingredients, add 1 can of sardines (or pilchards or even mackerel) in tomato sauce to a saucepan and heat for about 2 to 3 minutes until they are hot.
Step 2: Once they are hot, pour the sardines and all of the tomato sauce into a mixing bowl. Then add in 2 chopped lemongrass, 2 sliced shallots, 1 chopped spring onion, 2 sliced red chillies, 2 tbsp of fish sauce, and 2 1/2 tbsp of lime juice. Toss the salad until everything is thoroughly mixed together, then add in 1/2 cup of mint leaves. Mix one final time, then serve and enjoy!
