Ingredients
4 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
2 cups julienned carrots
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves or cilantro leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
6 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
1 romaine heart, thinly sliced
Peanut Dressing (see recipe below)
2 tablespoons roasted and salted peanuts, chopped
Peanut Dressing:
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon sambal oelek
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
Directions
- Put the noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling-hot water; let stand 3 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Drain the noodles very well, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl and use kitchen shears to snip the noodles a handful of times.
- Add the carrots, bean sprouts, parsley, basil, mint, cucumber and romaine to the bowl with the noodles. Add the Peanut Dressing and toss to coat the noodles and vegetables. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the chopped peanuts.
Peanut Dressing:
- Whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sambal oelek, ginger and garlic in a small bowl. Thin out with a little water until a nice spoonable consistency.
