In the mortar and pestle, add 1 1/2 Thai chilies and the juice of one lime.

Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to the mortar.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and mash the chilies into the marinade.

Add the roughly chopped garlic and mash it slightly to release flavors.

Add the chopped tomatoes and red onion, being careful not to mash too hard to avoid splattering.

Taste the mixture and adjust flavors as needed, especially if the chili is too spicy.

Serve the salad on a plate and garnish with sesame seeds.
