For an extra layer of flavor, toast the peanuts in a dry pan until lightly golden before chopping. Adjust the amount of chili-garlic sauce and red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. If you don't have fish sauce on hand, a splash of soy sauce can be used as a substitute. The salad tastes even better after the flavors have melded together in the refrigerator, so don't skip the chilling time!
