Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 -3 light brown sugar
6 -8 tablespoons water, to taste
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1 fresh Thai chiles or 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
8 ounces thin rice noodles
3 -4 napa cabbage leaves, thinly sliced crosswise
1 medium carrot (shredded or cut into matchsticks)
1/2 cucumber, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
1 handful chopped fresh herb, preferably a combination of basil, cilantro and mint
8 ounces cooked pork, chicken (cut or chopped into bite-sized pieces) or 8 ounces shrimp (cut or chopped into bite-sized pieces)
1/2 salted peanuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • To prepare the dressing, combine the fish sauce, lime juice, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, 6 tablespoons of the water, the garlic and the chile. Whisk well. Taste: if it's too pungent, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time. If you'd like more sweetness, add more brown sugar, 1/2 tablespoon at a time. Remember that you're going to be putting this dressing on unsalted vegetables and noodles: you want the dressing to have a lot of flavor, but it shouldn't knock you over. Pour into a serving bowl. (Covered and chilled, the dressing will keep for 3 days to a week.).
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Immediately drain the noodles into a colander, and rinse them well with cold water. Lay out a clean kitchen towel on the countertop, shake the colander to drain away excess water and then spread the cooked noodles on the towel to drain further.
  • Divide the noodles between two or three good-sized bowls, depending on the number of diners, and top with the vegetables, herbs and meat. Scatter the peanuts on top. Allow each person to spoon on dressing to taste. Toss well, and eat. (Alternatively, you can present this salad family-style: Toss the vegetables, herbs and noodles in a mixing bowl and then mound them on a serving platter. Arrange the meat over the noodles, and top with peanuts. Each diner can scoop their own portion from the platter and dress it as they see fit.).

The salad was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if there was more dressing.

I found that the rice noodles were a little too chewy for my taste. I think I would prefer to use a different type of noodle, such as ramen noodles.

The dressing is a bit too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by adding a little bit of honey.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it a few hours ahead of time and it will still be delicious.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I used basil instead. It worked out great and I still got the fresh herb flavor that I was looking for.

The salad is very customizable. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add extra vegetables, such as shredded carrots and bell peppers.

The dressing is the star of this dish. It's perfectly balanced and has just the right amount of sweetness, sourness, and spice.
