Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 2 tbsp peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Nutrition

Keywords: Avoid overcooking the rice noodles to prevent them from becoming mushy. Use a sharp vegetable knife for even strips, and consider adding grilled shrimp or chicken for extra protein.
