OMG...i didn't know what i was missing till i tried this bread. IT IS WONDERFUL...goodbye store bought bread (sorry Sara Lee, you been good to me, but ya know) and Hello homemade bread. I did reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup and it turned out wonderfully! When my dough was in the loaf pans it didn't rise 1 inch past the pan after 30 min. So i waited 45 min and it still hadn't risen...so i just threw it in the oven and it turned out great.

This recipe was very goo overall. I didn't like making it in the Bread Machine though...next time i will make it by hand and in the oven...bread just tastes better to me that way. Overall it was a very goo recipe. I found it best to put butter on the bread and toast it up in a cast iron skillet till nice and brown....then dip it in olive oil...yummmm

My fiancee and I make a meal that is similar to this one. We definitly do not add the one cup of fish sauce, we add about 4 1/2 tbsp and the same with the lime juice. We add in some green onion, cilantro, and chili flakes and cook the steak MEDUIM RARE. The dish isn't supposed to be "soupy" but there should be liquid left over. The steak should be cut along the grain and it will soak up some of the juice. We like to eat this dish with rice and then pour some of the liquid from the salad on our rice...the rice helps tone done any saltiness and just goes really well with the dish....
