Make the bacon whatever way you prefer whether it’s baking it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, microwaving it about 1 minute per slice, or cooking it on the stove top.

Once bacon is cooked (I prefer it crispy for this dish), chop it up into bite-sized pieces as show in pictures in post.

While bacon is cooking, wisk in a medium bowl the lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, thai chili paste, Thai chilies, shallots and garlic. Add the bacon and sprinkle cilantro on top.
