Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a bowl, combine the lime juice, sugar, chili paste, and fish sauce and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the peanuts and cilantro and stir until coated. It's important to chop the nuts by hand rather than using a food processor, otherwise they'll turn into a paste. The dish will benefit greatly from whole nuts.
- To serve, arrange the lettuce leaves on a large platter. Place about a quarter cup of pineapple on each leaf and season with salt to taste. Coat the pineapples with the chili paste and nuts. Serve. Guests can wrap each lettuce leaf around the filling.
