About the Recipe

Ingredients

Salad:

12 ounces thin Asian vermicelli noodles such as rice sticks or mung bean

2 carrots, shredded

4 green onions, chopped

1 ½ cups fresh bean sprouts

½ peppers julienne

¼ snow peas julienne

1 small water chestnut

⅓ cup chopped cilantro


Dressing:

4.5 oz fish sauce

½ cup seasoned rice vinegar

5 tablespoons sugar

5 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

½ cup sweet chilli sauce

2 tablespoons soya sauce

1 tablespoon grated ginger

1 tablespoon Sambal

1 teaspoon cumin

1 oz Mirin

1 lime juiced

Preparation

Soften the vermicelli noodles in a large bowl by covering them with boiling water and soaking for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Rinse under chilly water, drain, and add to a large bowl. Add the shredded carrots, peppers, snow peas, bean sprouts and chopped cilantro to the noodles.


In a glass jar fitted with a lid or a bowl, mix the fish sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, sweet chilli sauce, soya sauce, grated ginger, Sriracha, cumin, mirin, and crushed red pepper. Pour ¾ of the dressing over the noodles and toss to coat. Add more dressing if desired. Sprinkle with more cilantro and green onion and a squeeze of lime if desired. Salad can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight, however if making ahead, add the cilantro just before serving.
