- 200 g rice noodles
- 100 g carrots, julienned
- 100 g cucumber, sliced
- 100 g red cabbage, finely sliced
- 100 g bell pepper, sliced
- 50 g fresh mint, roughly chopped
- 50 g fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 4 leaves of lettuce

- Cook the rice noodles in a pot of boiling water for about 4-5 minutes until soft. Be careful not to overcook them. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the carrots, cucumber, red cabbage, and bell pepper. Cut all ingredients into fine strips for an appealing look. This should take about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles, sliced vegetables, mint, and cilantro. Gently mix to combine the flavors. This will take about 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil to make a dressing. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix well, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated. This should take another 3-4 minutes.
- Plate the salad on a large dish and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. You can serve the salad immediately or let it sit in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to intensify the flavors.
