For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the peanuts before chopping. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level. If tamarind juice is unavailable, substitute with a mix of lime juice and a touch of brown sugar, adjusting to taste. Thinly slicing the cucumber is key for optimal flavor absorption and texture. A mandoline slicer can be helpful for achieving uniform slices. For a vegetarian version, omit the fish sauce or substitute with a vegetarian fish sauce alternative or soy sauce.
